Focus
On the mirrored column
in the aisle display
a pair of specs
dangled over a sign.
She read:
"Stand 15 inches away
To test magnification strength needed".
Lips pursed and brow lined
she digested these words
and realized
they were written
across her life.
A distance slightly more
than one Foot,
so that even if she took that Step
she remained apart.

She placed the glasses back
on the spinning rack.
Why see things you can't reach?
