My arm swung over to my dresser

Slowly I reached over

I rubbed my eyes

thinking something was wrong with them.

I hadn’t put my glasses on yet.

I wish I could say that this was the first time this has happened,

Still, I can laugh at times like this

to take better care of myself.

There is another set of glasses, however,
