I worked my poor eyes
way too hard last night.
I woke up this morn
still with strained eyesight.
It’s been a long time
since they’ve worked that hard.
They stung as if pierced
by a small glass shard.
Once I went to bed,
they teared up a lot,
darn near glued themselves
shut with some dried clot.
All in all it was
a bad thing to do.
I am just so glad
that the night is through.
