TEAL

I noticed her glasses were broken
And pointed this out. 

She was well aware and said
she needed to get new ones.

She picked up my sunglasses 
that were sitting on my desk
and put them on.

Mind if I?
Are these prescription?
Whoa, you’re blind
Do you have a stigmatism 
In the left eye?

I started to explain
that well yes
to her
sitting there
but what’s hard to do
is say that you are
blind
in one eye.

And, what’s impossible to do
is show someone 
what you cannot see.

So you start by telling the
history.
