Looking for your glasses, I have become familiar
with the floor of your classroom. Squatting
by red and blue shelves, I find Scrabble tiles,
mostly E’s, and pencils with broken tips. The room
is dusty. I try to imagine what obscure spot
would look inviting to a child sniffling
because he must practice cursive T, removing
his glasses to wipe his eyes and looking for a place
to put them down, not knowing how simple it is
to forget things, the weighty and the small alike.

Thank you Maria for your wonderful comment.
Wow! what a beautiful story and at the same time so true, glasses are MAGICAL.
This is a great story!! It’s amazing to hear the progression of a self-righteous choice through glasses. Keep it up!!
