Glasses

I’ve had glasses since college.
My vision isn’t horrible.
Because my eyes change with every
Pregnancy, just enough
For headaches,
I have never worn glasses around home,
Except when we have visitors. Sometimes.

And always when we go out: I want to see
Faces. Once I missed a smile until it had passed.
Never again.

I am trying now to wear glasses around home.
I hate them when I’m reading,
And I read a lot. But I am amazed at
The view out the window, how defined the leaves.
