seeing eye dog

the opthamologist
can't see.
he confuses
you with another
patient.
calls you back
in for a second
examination
as you sit there
waiting to pay
for the first one.
did i examine
you, he says.
you look familiar.
ten minutes ago
you tell him. i
read the chart and
you blew air
into my eyes.
okay, how about you?
he squints and
says to the dog
sitting beside me.
the dog barks
and goes in.
