Monthly Eye Shots

My doctor says the bubble,bobbing like a bead of mercury,like an escaped pinball rushingpast flippers, is normal.He says I should expect this.Like pain, the bubble vanishesin a few days after it's jiggledand spun like a maze marblebouncing to my rhythm. I'mnow beyond smear and blur.My doctor says my lossof straight edges is my brainstretching, sometimes decidingto leave a blank, like the invisibledeer I pass or a third of the fern.He says not to panic when mybrain replaces strange imageswith what was once thereeven if it's a deconstructedPicasso. My own surreal circus.Some nights I think I hear stars clickas I see them with my needle of truth.
