The doctor told me that I have cataract and the world will always look blurry. I read somewhere that searching is not poetry. It is a bumpy road and dead-end coming home and instantly leaving sleeping 3 hours a night forgetting to clean the counter. Searching is not about finding. It is about dropping hiding and losing. They couldn’t stand to see me wander so they gave me a plastic lens. The counter remains unclean and I hide under the bed. My insides are blurry

Ms Piotrowska: I like this very much. As someone whose received an implant, I am aware of both the miracle of clarity and how much I miss some of the fuzzy blurriness. Thank you for sharing.
