Wednesday, September 2, 2009: ffffound!--Quoted from: nl121108

Optometry

Measure the eye,
Its capabilities.

Produce numbers
That describe

Its functionality.
Ask the patient

To call out the
Digits and letters

In the poster on
The plaster wall.

The patient will
Feel nervous,

I assure you.
Plastic disc on wand

Held over one
Closed lid,

Your patient’s
Heart might tremble.

It is thus with
Any test of one’s

Experience of
The world, each

Of us seeing
And interpreting

with varying
intelligibility.

  1. Ha, this is awesome.

    You know what I want, though? A part of me wants this poem to start large and get progressively smaller, like an eye test. :P
