lack of clarity

for some days now, my eyes have been misting up at random moments.

today, london woke up covered in a fine fog. everything's blurred and undefined. you can't see more than the immediate and the obvious.

it's odd to see/not see.

when i first got my specs fitted, the world changed completely. suddenly the green masses i had been used to seeing on top of trees became thousands of perfectly defined individual leaves. bus destinations could be known, not just guessed at. people recognised on the street and greeted. messages on walls deciphered.
i became aware of the uniqueness of my point of view.

it feels quite lonely to know nobody can see quite how you see. but on days of fog, it's ok: we're finally all on the same blind boat.
