hyperopia /seeing

voice on the phone from miles away: how are your eyes?

p: the eye doctor says i'm farsighted. but i think he's wrong.

voice on the phone from miles away: you always think you know better.

p: i can still see a future with you.

voice on the phone from miles away: see? the doctor is right.

p: how can you be so farsighted?

voice on the phone from miles away: i am being realistic.

p:  i am realistic.

voice on the phone from miles away: wake up. the future you see is a projection of the past.

p:  the future i see can happen at any minute.

voice on the phone from miles away: fyi, it happened. could have happened. but you let it slip away.

(pause)

the kids are here. i have to go. take care of your eyes.
