Glasses instead of Contacts


My eyes ache at the sharpness of the word on the page, the face coming toward me, the sign up ahead. There's a hollow behind the burning eyelid that looks only inward. When they fall down the soft slope of my nose and I look over them, I rest in blur.

  6. Just got new eyeglasse this week and have been practicing such equanimity of eyewear: to be pleased with the sharpness of sight and to be pleased with the resting in blur.
