Magnifying Glass

In my pocket is a magnifying glass
A clear thing wrapped in plastic
I don't know where I got it from
but I carry it around wherever I go

Sometimes I put it up against walls
Trying to spy on others hearts
Sometimes upon passing specimens
of all varieties

When I look out at molecules and planets
I can suffer the weight
this information spreads

But when I turn the thing about
turn it upon this here breathing presence
the weight buckles
eclipses any forward resolve

Am I a bullet in the wind
A bullet with collapsing weight

Did no one ever tell me
