L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Ocular Occlusions

Looking through a simple magnifier
Words look as big as your thumb,
Meanings, however, are not a justifier
For our being so outrageously dumb.
Never believe everything is as you see,
And be careful not to draw conclusions
For lots of things are very likely to be
The result of our ocular occlusions.

Anselmo Boles November 30, 2021 at 10:31 PM I can relate Milton! Yeah, every time think I see a naked blonde appear in the mirror, my ocular focus quickly distorts and goes out the door...ab L Milton Hankins December 1, 2021 at 8:30 AM Yep. That can happen, Anselmo. Definitely!

Caren Krutsinger November 30, 2021 at 9:08 PM "be careful not to draw conclusions" This is something I have to constantly remind myself to not do. L Milton Hankins December 1, 2021 at 8:30 AM I think we all have a propensity to do that, Caren. It's important to recognize the folly of them, I think.
