Nearsighted

All I can make out are the wrinkles

on Time-incrusted hands

while against my face

being worn like a blindfold;

the only sight beheld are the lines

of Today’s Circumstance magnified.



I can’t see past these fingers

that are paralyzed- standing

at attention- and velcroed together,

obstructing my view from the Future

that has steadily become more hazy

with the passage of Life.



There are no openings between them

to see to the other side-

to Achievement and all its clarity.

No, my perspective has blurred

as I’ve lost my focus and

Vision is hindered by Disappointment.
