The minds of others I know well;
But who I am, I cannot tell;
My eye is much too close to me,
I am not what I saw and see,
It would be quite a benefit
If only I could sometimes sit
Farther away; but my foes are
Too distant; close friends, still too far;
Between my friends and me, the middle
Would do. My wish? You guess my riddle.
