I’ve been buying
vintage glasses for years.
I get my lenses
in Chinatown. Last two years
I walked by an expensive
French eyeglass store
on Columbus Avenue
loved the glasses had a long
internal conversation
about paying retail
glasses can be a fortune
decided I would
so I went in, talked with
Dre fantastic eye glass
consultant who brought out
30 pairs for me to try
gave me immediate responses
when I did (you look like
a therapist he said a few times.
Is that the look you want?
It was not) finally found a pair
life-changing said Dre
I bought them, picked them up
a few days later. Wore them home.
Peter didn’t notice my new glasses.
At night the kids came
for Chanukah dinner. They didn’t either.
Dre texted me: What Did They Say?
Nothing I wrote back. Are they
visual? he asked. Yes I replied.
Finally at last night’s Penn South Zoom
Sonia, wonderful writer in her 90’s
looked at me and said New Glasses.
Post a photo?
Life changing soon.
Or maybe proof your life doesn’t need changing.
