I feel like I ought to be
living in Texas again
for everything, they say,
is bigger in Texas and you
don’t argue with a Texan.

So much in my life is bigger now
a computer monitor that would
pass for a moderate sized TV,
with font so large a single page
fills the screen, and the tablet
the size of, but thank God
not the weight of, a phone book,
(for you under 30, look it up),
to read books and news since
libraries don’t carry large print books
(look that up to, probably)
at least not books of poetry.

But thanks to modern materials science
the lenses in my glasses don’t
yet look like Mr. Magoo’s (yup,
one more thing to look up) at least not yet.
