How Many Moons Can You See?
It was a full moon and, shining on all the snow,
it made everything almost as bright as day.
-C. S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
When the subject of vision came up
(as it must with an ophthalmologist)
I told Dr. Talbot that I saw two moons
When only one of them would be sufficient
But which one?
After a gentle touch of surgery
I now see only one moon, which is nice
But I rather miss that other moon
And wonder if in her exile she misses me too
Where is she?
On whatever planet you happen to live
I don’t think you can have too many moons
