The Fish Eye Camera Lens Poem by Ananta Madhavan

The Fish Eye Camera Lens



A century ago, (I mean the mid-20th) ,
They devised a clever camera whose lens
Could picturize the distorted arc
From far left to the right extreme
In rotundity's embrace.

I imagined this eye
As a Cyclops solitaire
In oval arenas,
Smothering the edges,
Distending all but itself.
So the Ego saves its own disproportion
By watching through fish eye lens.
