Dilated
The doctor dilated my eyes;
My pupils are three times their size.
Since the time this occurred
What I’m seeing is blurred,
But I know things will soon stabilize.
Still, I’m fortunate I can still read
Since my near-sight is quite up to speed.
I can write and can sew
And do most things, although
Distance vision is not guaranteed.
I am lucky I don’t have to drive
For I don’t think that I would survive
Without seeing the road;
Yet here in my abode,
I’ll just wait for my eyes to revive.
