"Out <strong>of</strong> Focus"<br />
by Stephen William Krewson<br />
This morning, <strong>the</strong> man on <strong>the</strong> bus<br />
hears <strong>the</strong> portentous news:<br />
<strong>the</strong> telescope on <strong>the</strong> spacecraft<br />
has a fuzzy faculty <strong>of</strong> sight.<br />
Humankind's orbiting eye is clouded<br />
with debilitating debris, its lenses<br />
double images like a poorly tuned TV.<br />
But <strong>the</strong> man, whose hand never<br />
strays from <strong>the</strong> placid flank <strong>of</strong> his dog,<br />
cares not for <strong>the</strong> faulty technology,<br />
<strong>the</strong> galactic macular degeneration,<br />
and probing with his cane hurtles<br />
into <strong>the</strong> dark asteroid belt<br />
that is his world.<br />
