After Jeffrey sat next to a man
at Artie’s deli, familiar
looking man at the table
next to us, he leaned
over to me Jeffrey did to say
that man is my enemy
he’s an eye doctor
twenty years ago
sold me a pair of
Armani prescription glasses
I paid a lot for those frames
he put the lenses in upside
reading on top can you believe
it should I stand on my head
to read a book I asked him
you must be kidding if you think
I’ll redo those glasses he told me
imagine that not even
I’m sorry but he did
redo the glasses the second time
this is a true story why would
I tell you if it weren’t the second time
he made the same mistake again.
