And So Too Can I…

 And So Too Can I…
 
I have ears to hear,
And so I can listen.
My brain may not comprehend,
But my intuition
            Can distinguish
            Disposition.
 
I have eyes to look,
And so too can I see.
I can notice and focus,
Tell forest from the tree.
            Can understand…
            Can truly see.
 
I have hands to touch,
And so too can I feel.
Go deeper—below the skin,
I can give or can steal.
            Touch your body,
            To hurt or heal.
 
And, I have my tongue,
And with that I can taste
The food that I must consume ,
Or your lips, that lay waste…
            To all my plans:
            Profane and chaste.
 
And I have a mind,
To think about all this.
I can rearrange it all--
Reinterpret all this.
            But to what end?
            To what new Dis?
