Dead Men's Glasses

They collect them, you know…

Dead men’s glasses.

Boxes can be found in public,

Strategically placed.

                                                       

Somewhere, a person without resources

Stumbles along with blurry vision.

Someone’s cast-offs, could be

Someone else’s clarity.

I have a bagful, from my uncle.

He saved nearly everything.

I possess a ninety-one year collection,

Of objects, papers, insights.

I will drop his glasses

In a box so designated.

Would that I could drop his insights,

Into someone blindly stumbling.
