sun sits up

When the sun sits up 
and looks down on a partly-cloudy 
day, in-between those blots 
and aisles of brilliant white, 

can it see all the interplay 
of brightness and shade 
in-between the slices 

of layer cake it cuts us 
to sever day from night?

Probably, no. It can't see 
a thing. The source of almost 
all light is blind. It only 

puts out. It can't take 
in. Reflection's too far, 

it cannot catch sight.
