08/20/06 - #50 Cirrhosis of the Eye As I grow older I can feel my faculties fade. Life's brain degeneration spreads daily, and while the thick fog settles internally over my capacities to reason and to learn, another fog is forming externally. I've self diagnosed myself as having cirrhosis of the eye. The 'doctors' call it 'astigmatism' and have prescribed stigmatic lenses. From now on when I paint I've been forced to bear my stigmatas.
