Conjunctivitis!

My eyes are swollen,red and bloodshot

Could it be a corneal hemorrhage or a blood clot?

Some things are lodged in there-sharp needles,dry grit.

And they impinge on my eyeballs-bit by bit.

I can not even cry except in acidic,mucousy streaks

My eyes sting;my eyelids creak.

I can not stand the light-

And sleep joylessly in the night.

Every morning my eyes are sealed shut as if with glue

And you smilingly call it just the Eye Flu?

Doctor! you don't know your cornea from the iris

If you call this horrible disease just seasonal conjucnctivitis.
