Glasses

By Sandra Pollock

De odder day I loas my glasses

I couldn’t fine dem anywhere.

Dem not in de bathroom, de kitchen, de bedroom.

No matter where I look,

I couldn’t fine dem.

It mek me tink bout mobile phones.

At least when I can’t fine my phone

I can call it.

When I hear it ring, I know jus where it is.

But I caan do dat wid a pair of specs.

Dem does sit round,

Quietly waiting to be discovered

Dem can’t shout, raise an arm and wave at me.

Even if daay could,

It might be a little hard to see.

Somebody could mek nuff money,

Creating someting dat could fine my glasses fu me.

But in de meantime,

I off to try and put my hands on glasses pair, number three.
