Optometrist
They treated me badly at the last place
Called the regional manager and went
Karen
Sitting in the chair now, you looking into me
Inside of me
Knowing
There are similarities
All too clear
Yeah, when I get home
I’ll draw tiny hearts around your script
I’ll watch, fascinated by your presentation
Of the retinal imaging
How you’ll ask:
Have you ever seen the back of your eyes?
Nope!
A service tacked onto the final bill
Without permission
But, Optometrist, that’s OK
I won’t fight it (insurance has it covered)
Here today, I’ll spend all the money
New frames, new me
Charming you
So, can I stay here awhile, then? Can you take
Me in?
Marry me in the fall
Do me until the end of time
Little you, perky ass
To-die-for quips
Butterflies in my belly
I can see now, Taylor
Yeah, I can
Condom wrapper under my bed.
