Question: Do you like this sort of thing!?

I CANNOT FIND MY GLASSES

When I placed the sapphire-lens glasses
on my nose, the words in the poetry
realigned!. What had been a jumble
of nonsensical gibberish was now
clean and clear pristine expressions
in three languages!.

Then, I tried the emerald lenses!. The green
gemstone made no difference in the syntax, yet
somehow altered the core belief in each line!.
What had been compassion and unity
a few moments earlier, was now
distance and detachment!.

Then I tried to read it again without glasses!.
I was unable to speak any of the words, yet I
was somehow more comfortable without
the knowledge!. The mumbo-jumbo was pleasing
to the ear and less of a strain on a mind already
burdened with thought!.

If I shall live a couple of decades more, I shall find this poem on the table of some active critics, discussing on what great differences the colour sapphire and emerald have made!. I could stand there then as a prophet satisfied at my words having come true!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

When did you find the time to write this!? Does this mean it's winding down time for the PoetsfromMars!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I love this sort of thing!. But, I will warn you, do not try the ruby lenses!. They tend to draw your eyes only to sappy love poems, or emo/suicidal/ohgodihatemylife/ type stuff!. I warn you, stay away! Remain blind!

Write more poems like this one!. It's wonderful!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have the teensy weeny problem that without my glasses I am forever inadvertently rearranging pieces of furniture! My favourite coloured lenses are yellow, apparently if signifies a sunny disposition!. Maybe I just like custard!.
