Truth Comes In Bifocals

Justin Scott Bradbury

Most glasses don't fix your vision,
Only fix your focus.
They help you to see the grass,
But most likely miss the locus.
Squinting only makes it worse,
Strained and tired your eyes immersed,
But still you triumph thinking
Your eyes work fine,
Except of course, the times when you are blinking.
