Distortions from a lens


I’m not sure why 
 The glass in my living room window 
Turned an orange sunset to magenta; 
Everything else I’ve seen through it looked normal. 
Perhaps it was the angle from where I stood? 
But still: a gentle reminder 
 That what we think we’re seeing 
 May not be real, as it’s always filtered 
Through the lens of our experience. 
Try standing in a different place,
 Or in another’s shoes 
 To get a truer picture.
