eye exam

dumb,
I missed two turns
and had to take the long way
back into the past.

then,
when i got there
I had forgotten
which eye doctor
with whom
I had made the appointment.

long story,
short sighted,
they sliced into my lid
and then sent me
on my way.

black eye town,
hanging with a black guy
named Mike,
who makes sure
I am alright.
