They hide themselves
when needed most
Lost then found
and set upon my nose
Smudges smeared further
Cursory rub with shirt cloth
before sprayed and polished
by microfiber swath
Blurs turn to clarity
For a while at least
Until glasses laid down
and the cycle repeats

Jodi, I loved this one! I reminded me of my mother who had so many pairs scattered around the house yet could never find a pair! Those cheaters are slippery devils – always hiding and sneaking away just when you need them!

Jen, this feels way too real — the whole lost-smudged-found cycle made me smile. 😄
