There is little good
you want to say about
Macular Degeneration, less
about geographical atrophy,
nothing it seems you can do
until it crosses that line
and wetness sets in.
But there is one hidden
advantage and that
is the magical power
to make people headless
and cars disappear
on the highway.
All I need do is shut
my left eye and if I am
ten feet or more from you
you will be headless
and as you buzz by me
on the expressway,
closing the left eye
you can disappear forever.
Thanks for this wry look with the left eye. Your poem is up on the poetry challenge post. : )
