take one every nine hours

i prepare myself
for my
new drivers license.
the last one about to expire
in a few months.
i have to go down to the DMV
and reapply.
have a new picture
taken.
hopefully it won't involve
parallel parking
this time.
i have all my documents
in order,
birth certificate,
passport,
a bag of cash in case
i need to flee.
probably a useless
precaution.
i'm worried about the vision
test though.
what about hearing,
which i'd surely fail.
all day long i've been
trying to read
the small print on
my prescription bottles.
putting one hand
over
each eye.
take one every nine
hours?
or is it take nine
each hour?
