AI Interpretation
The speaker disputes the pirate eye-patch image, lists losses of perception and coordination, and warns against going to war just for the Hell of it.
The physical claims support the poem's warning but are not medical findings or proof of an actual eye injury.
'Goodby fist, Goodby Sword' calls the eye-patched pirate 'a lie / Take it from me', lists 'No more depth perception / No more eye to hand coordination', and says the lost side 'makes the 180 degrees / of no account'.
Plain optics become anti-war counsel: 'So look twice / before you go to war / just for the Hell of it'. The speaker's claim of a lost eye is literary testimony, not a medical record, and the cancelled f in the isolated of row remains provisional.
