Dysmorphia
Bleparoplasty they called it
to lift my dragging lids that
cut off vision for reading and such.
Tired of people asking “”Are you tired?”
Afterwards felt like one of those
Keane eye girls with eyes as wide
as saucers.
Felt a fake sense of awe or terror
suspended by those eyes.
Even my dog stared at me in awe
and distrust.
Husband said I looked fine but he would.
The innocuous astonishment lasted a
few days till my mind absorbed my
new look and shifted my morph.

I love the bit about the dog, Linda!
“Felt a fake sense of awe or terror” great line. I agree with Gaby about the dog. Always good to shift your “morph”!
Thx!
With a name that long and hard to say at least you should have felt like a movie star when they finished! And we all think that dogs don’t pay much attention to how we look.
