Daniel N. Flanagan Writing

Glasses

When I was a kid, I got glasses.

I chose not to wear them though.

I did not want to see the world as it truly was.

Did not want to see who was reflected

          in the mirror.

My pockmarked friends;

Every broad looked flawed,

#

I hid them in my cluttered closet,

And I rejoiced, reveling in

The life, God intended me to witness.
