Don't give me that diatribe, officer

fred sees with two eyes but his one blue iris is rather askew
congenital
can still see the peaches, yes sir
can't miss those by a country mile
at least, that's what fred always says
he says a lot of stuff
he says a lot
sometimes without saying a thing
it's the deformed eye
it tells all
like that time that fred went down to the mountain and looked over the edge and saw her up below the mountain laurel and she was so shiny and round that he wanted to take her home so he decided to climb around and reach out real far as far as he had it in him to do but she was just out of reach so close yet so far he would think back later but right about now fred's trying to figure out how to get her closer to him because he has plans big plans for the both of them whether she knows this or not fails to cross fred's mind as he figures that what he can give her is all the world and who wouldn't want all the world anyway so fred he reaches and he looks around and tries to get closer and calls out and cries for a little help but there's none to be had since fred is all alone
but he wouldn't ever tell you that
