Bifocalism for the Masses and, Like, Stuff

 

Bifocals – the upper lens sees far away

The sun and the moon and the dancing stars

All in their appointed places above

Great mountains and oceans and thunderstorms

 

Bifocals – the lower lens sees the end of your nose

The sweep hand dancing around your Timex watch

The book you are reading, the book you are writing

Your thoughts encoded in orderly lines

 

Bifocals – both lenses balance your sense of vision -

But take the stairs with care and precision!
