vision

The doctor was emphatic

Half your life , he said

You have looked at the world

Through glasses that magically

Screen the ugliness


No surgery can improve such vision

Retain your hope and optimism


So here I am

Switching between distance and

Reading glasses

But seeing the same bright hues on

most days

Sometimes sadness overwhelms but nothing

a switch of glasses won't drive away
