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.
