I decided to see the world through
rose-colored glasses. But I didn't read
the warning label: "Caution.
All red objects will seem to disappear.
Prolonged use may cause headaches,
eye fatigue, disorientation, and/or
apathy."
In Alaska, I was the only one who couldn't see the Northern Lights.
In Australia, Ayers Rock was invisible.
In Bermuda, I got sunburned and didn't know it.
In Switzerland, the Matterhorn
was fuzzy and bright pink. I felt a headache
coming on, but I didn't really
care. I finally took off the glasses and
gave them to a milkmaid.
My final stop was the Grand Canyon.
At sunset, the sky turned purple, the
sun was orange, and the clouds
were pink.
"My God!" I gasped. I had
worn the rose-colored glasses too long. My eyes
had stuck that way.
