what interests me
about the eyes
is they are the part
of the body
that doesn't age
if one looks for one's childhood
across all the signs of aging
the deterioration
of musculature
the whitening
of the hair
the changes
in height weight
one can find
one's childhood
in the eyes
I found this ages ago online, cobbled it together and left it in a notepad file called "Derrida" sitting on my desktop. Found it a couple days ago, decided to post it, and don't have the ambition required to track down the original citation by Jacques Derrida.
So let's just assume.

Well, whether or not we know the origin, it's beautiful.
That's Derrida. It's from Derrida: the movie, Jane Doe Films, 2002 with music by Ryuichi Sakamoto. It's just before or just after this clip, I think.
The interviewer is not very good, but Derrida is excellent, as always.
and I'll say it again -- that's a *huge* talent of yours -- pulling obscure & astute references out of thin air -- we've gotta find a way to turn it into gold. ;)
thanks for the citation!

Even eyes get a feel of old age, not to speak of cataract.
Mind, if accepted as a part of body, is likely to be less oldage prone. But it too may refuse to accept input/output when all the inputs and outputs of the world look like cliches and hackneyed expressions.
