i see you.

At the eye doctor's office
I saw two girls named star and stormy
And remembered that my mom almost named me stormy
Because i was born in a blizzard.

When we got there,
We sat down.
I didn't bring any books to read,
No paper to write on
Or to draw on
Or make origami with
Or whatevz.
The wait was kind of long.
I read about the 100 most influential people
In the world
In TIME magazine
And saw that ol' Miley Cyrus made the list.
Ironically,
There also was an article in there
About her Vanity Fair scandal.

They called us in after a while
My mom commented on how long it took
To the nurse
And chatted about all of their old
Mutual eye doctor friends.
Though i don't think my mom knew her.
I liked her a lot.
She noticed how i squinted into the lenses
And how I almost cracked up
About at trillion times
Thinking how ridiulous i sounded
Stuttering on consonants and vowels.
She even gave me hints on a couple letters.
I kept mixing up the O's and C's.
I probably failed that test,
But seeing as i already have glasses,
It doesn't get much worse.

So i really liked her.
She had blonde hair
And she coordinated her outfit perfectly.
Bright orange shirt with those white hibiscus
Hawaiian flowers on it,
White pants,
And orange Crocs.
She was also using an orange pen,
That,
She pointed out,
Said "yellow" on it.
After some construction company, she says.

The doc came in
Dressed like a doc
Lab coat and all.
My mom also chatted with him
About that old eye doctor
They know.
That everyone knows.
The doctor's great too.
He can carry a conversation
About my summer plans
And ask me to look this way and that
And tell me i'm doing everything correctly
Simultaneously.
I got a stronger prescription,
Not sure how much stronger.
2.75, you tell me.

We talked to the ladies at the desk
About golfing
And I saw that the lady
At the computer
Was drinking a coke zero
In an itty bitty bottle.

I bought new glasses.
Brown, that reflect blue in the light.
I really like 'em.
But I really didn't like my old glasses,
So anything would be an improvement.
A lady in the store
Had half her hair dyed brown
And half her hair dyed blonde,
Split right down the middle.
I wonder which glasses she was buying.

Another thing i noticed,
Everyone there
Doctors, nurses, everybody working at the desk, the people at the store,
ALL OF THEM
Wore specs.
Which is weird and not weird at the same time.
