Tears

(7)

Ok. I seem to have got my point across. (As I wrote that I grabbed my glasses and put them up to the light: spoiled as usual on the inside by squirting tears, I then licked them on the inside and wiped them clean with a paper towel. Now I can see very well. I clean my glasses often because they are so vulnerable to the squirts when I blink. My eyes water constantly, excessively. And whenever I blink a fine stream of moisture deposits on the inside of my glasses.

They say that my eyes water because my tear generation system has declined in my old age. They say that the result is watery eyes. Maybe.

Regardless, I can report to you that as you age you tend to cry more often. You begin to realize that you will not live forever. It is a sad realization. So you cry.
