That’s Why
Although I’m slow, I’m thankful I can read. Still, I would like to find a way to show how much my dull, dyslexic eyes impede. I’m thankful I can read, although I’m slow. When I take little bites, I do quite well… without too much distraction. Something lights my understanding, and it starts to gel; I do quite well… when I take little bites. Somehow, a word-filled page confuses me; I tighten up or panic. Though I vow to plug away, ere long my mind will flee. A word-filled page confuses me somehow. That’s why the poems I write and read are short. I’m grateful I’m not stupid, though I’m shy of breadth... and depth... of facts I might import. The poems I write and read are short…. That’s why. © MLee Dickens'son (Daniel J. Ricketts) ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
