I Can Still See

on

I thought I'd be blind by now

And maybe 

I'm blind in other ways—


I hope it isn't true.


Vision worse than years before,

And I hope my aging mind stays


open to progression;

 

No excuses to stay

In watered-down bliss.


I thought I'd be blind by now

But I can still see; 


In more ways than

Just through declining sight 

Behind frames.
