Second Cataract Surgery

                              

Tomorrow morning, in an outpatient clinic,

My right eye's cataractous lens will be emulsified, by a laser,

And surgically replaced with an acrylic substitute.

 

Tonight, I see no poetry flowing through these lines;

Indeed, the upcoming procedure seems so prosaic, right now,

I can't imagine locating the slightest insight

 

That might lead me to conclude otherwise,

Unless, in less than sixteen hours,

My eyes begin seeing pleasure domes only poets envision.
