Ode to Contacts (Visibility)
I see and write
with small, clear circles
in my eyes.
Without them
I'm blind, my perception is negated
Without them
I'm the old me,
who couldn't see opportunity.
With them
I'm myself. I see 20/20
and read my surroundings
as words on pages.
Like a book,
they open and close my day-
they begin and conclude
a story with a thousand chapters.
