Classic Myops

Look at it 
This way--

You could've been born 
A spectacle with only one 

Gigantic bulging eye- 
Ball planted right 

Smack dab 
In the middle 

Of your bucolic, 
Dead-to-the-world 
Forehead and everyone 

Who's anybody, including 
Some shifty dude who called himself 
NoMan knows how that turned out,

Stake my word on it.

Skewed Cyclopean With Doppelganger

Polyphemus, my good man— 
Had you but two 
 
Good eyes instead of one 
Skewered one, one 
 
Fine day you might well 
Find yourself standing 
 
Before a looking-glass looking 
At yourself like No Man 
 
Ever did without 
Ever once seeing double, 
 
But I wouldn't 
Bet my eye-teeth on it.
