Madrigal: Telescope

The zoom on my old telescope is broken.
When I try to see right in front of me,
I'm taken hundreds of miles away.

Is that my neighbor, buried in rubble?
Or is it my neighbor cruising the missile?
The zoom broke on this damn telescope;
I can't even see right in front of me.

Indignant rising ocean licks the coast.
I walk there alone with some sacred ghosts
to sketch a glimpse of golden horizons.
But the zoom's broke on my telescope,
I can't see my own life right before me.
I'm drowning thousands of miles away.
