Weather prediction

Some people have arthritic joints that predict rain.  Me?  I have a brain subject to barometric pressure.  I am beginning to see it as an adventure.  I continue grateful for prisms in my glasses.

It seems my brain

Registers barometric pressure.

The electrical currents

Are dismantled

Dismembered

Unplugged

Sometimes even

Reconnected

In unexpected ways.

I watch the colors

Of fluorescent light,       

Feel the buzz.

I think we might get snow

Perhaps rain

Maybe there will be dancing

In the puddles

In the streets

Or everything will freeze;

Ice skating will be the option

Of choice.

New glasses

Sometimes a relatively simple change allows other things to change around it.  I tell clients this all the time.  Why should it be so surprising to me?  Now it seems I do not need to spend as much time and effort getting things into focus.  The prisms in my new glasses help me focus more easily. The prisms actually seem to help, not just my vision, but my hearing and apprehension of the world around as well.

Already I notice the difference.

There are no rainbows evident

But the fall colors are clearer.

When I worked out this morning

I could see the trainer

Across the room.

I even saw aspects

Of my lunch partner yesterday

Which took me

By surprise.

I know this has nothing to do

With prisms

Really

But then again

Maybe it does.

Already I notice a difference.

Already I know

It relates to more

Than prisms

Or potential rainbows.
