Strange things that are a burden

Cats in Blythburgh,Suffolk 1995 by Katherine

Would you think having to take a  lot of medication would  be a big weight on your mind? I mean huge
I used to do,but now I have found by studying the literature that nearly everything I take can be taken at night,including mini aspirins and thyroxine. And for some reason I feel better when I wake up and only have to take one pill.
Some acquaintances grumble they have to take one pill a day.
Some moan about having to wear glasses.
I’d wear jugs if I could see a bit better.Even if I had a white stick I’d probably sit down for coffee next to someone who was moaning about  needing reading glasses
.Most people don’t seem to  pay attention  to the person they are talking to
The strange thing about losing a lot of vision is that it seems like a  mini version of dying.Because seeing is part of the identity  of most of us.Alas some are born with poor  or no vision.
When you can’t see  well it feels you have lost your actual self.You start to put your hands out to feel your way.You can’t  judge the depth of steps so you can’t walk naturally,you need a stick to measure and then care to put  your foot in the right place.
Your house has stuff on the floor because you walk into the coffee table or the desk and knock things off so much.
Yet, disorder  is the source of creativity but it might not be the sort you want ——-like having wild animals moving into the extension,trees growing in the corner of the room and blackberry bushes in the kitchen. Willow trees by the bed where I keep losing aspirins.That is Nature

So who needs a boyfriend?
Well, if they like picking up paper off the floor or  hoovering the corners of the rooms take them  in and love them.Because everyone is blind in bed.
