Dilation

I went to the doctor To check out my eyes. Dilation was needed; ‘Twas not a surprise. But now, hours later, With pupils gigantic, My vision’s all fuzzy, Which should make me frantic, Though wearing my glasses At least I can see; Still, reading and writing Aren’t easy for me. Tomorrow I’ll wake And my sight should be fine So the world and my vision, I hope, will align.

Luckily you live in NYC and not Australia where the sun is shockingly clear and bright! But a perfect poem, again!
