Purple, thin, and light
I put them over my eyes.
The second pair of glasses I’ve had.
The first was quite heavy.
I open my eyes.
Open, shut. Open, shut.
Everything comes into focus
I explore my no-longer-blurry world.
The lenses are so pure, so unblemished.
My grandfather says, “Now you can see the ants on the ground.”
I feel like I could see the craters on the Moon.
