A Good Friend
Sees you more clearly
than the mirror house inside you.
Defends your weak side
when you throw punches at yourself.
And celebrates your every success
louder than a preschool teacher.
Stroke
I was twenty-three
when my first stroke arrived.
One eye studied the ceiling,
the other pondered the floor.
A bizarre double vision,
nauseating funhouse prank.
Then my ear started ringing
and my legs let me fall.
I survived,
recovered,
and with resynchronized eyes,
I saw life as more finite
and swore I'd capture more.
But routine roared back,
like a DC-10 behind schedule,
so I hurried aboard,
my clear vision forgotten.
