Poem for Jan 22



Personal Stanza


PERSONAL STANZA

Yesterday we had our appointment
with the eye doctor. First his assistant,
and then the doctor, thoroughly
tested my eyes in various ways.
I had told him I had come to him
because of getting daily migraine headaches,
and I wanted to see if anything was
wrong with my eyes.
He said that by his examination,
he concluded that there was nothing
wrong with my eyes.
He offered other standard reasons
why one gets migraine headaches,
all of which I was already familiar with.
He gave me a sample bottle
of a stronger type of eye drops,
which are especially good
for dry eyes, which I have.
So we are still trying to find a solution
to the recurring migraines.
