Dilated

To dilate eyes
It isn’t wise
To feel surprise
At pupils’ size.

You must surmise
This truth applies – 
The doc relies
On such a guise.

Don’t analyze
Or agonize
For facts arise 
(And that’s the prize).

But time sure flies
And justifies
The sight that lies
Within our eyes.

Oh I forgot to tell you. My eyes have naturally large pupils compared to others. At the prom, my date asked me if I was on drugs. Geeez.
