Max wonderful Patrick I had a similar experience the other ay when I glanced down to see a dead mouse -(sad) then second look revealed that it was a curled up leaf Cheers Paick Now to snap hunt -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Max Richards Sent: 17 December 2008 04:26 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: snap: my glaucoma Snap: My Glaucoma While we were out this afternoon, my eye specialist, Mr Poon, left a message on our home phone. My wife has it linked to her mobile which signals that there's something new. So standing in the Westpac queue she checked (which I couldn't do) and heard the voice though indistinct of Poon on my glaucoma test. She met me outside, compassion in her eye, 'it seems they've found in- cipient glaucoma, darling.' I held myself so stoically, foreseeing disability, and, at length, surgery. 'Let's just check the call again - it should be clearer here outside.' This time distinct the voice of Poon informed us the test shows no sign of glaucoma. After my stoic minute I felt rather let down.
