DOLLAR STORE GLASSES

“And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)” from “Heroes,” Bowie

I wear dollar-store glasses
they help me work on perspective.
I live for nothing I can think of. fact.
It’s suggested I might just strive for focus.
In my day bed i might live
with one window & uncertainly my curtain cracked

I can wear one seventy five
On dollar-store glasses
I passed par for an old guy.
I’m far from passed, muy alive.
Tho’ she could present a good argument
Contesting that mad “muy” adjective.
I abstain again & again
And I’d hate to publicly substantiate
