All I Need


When I wake up early or late

my search for you I don't hesitate.

It seems I cannot hear without you.

My ears fail, my eyes fail, my touch fails too.

I wish I wasn't so darn dependent

but my need for you is transcendent.

Oh glasses, where art thou?

I desperately need you on my brow.

The dimness, the unclean lines, the blur

You help my focus of the obsure

There is surgery to fix my site.

My style -four eyes-is my undivided right.
