Replying to a comment on:

Slim and Pretty, Or Not (Free verse) by Dovina

We wish our butts were thinner, Our tummies flatter, and our second toe wasn’t longer than the first. No one can live life to the fullest while sucking her stomach in. And it’s better to look like we eat than to look like we don’t. And the best beauty aid is a nearsighted man.

I would prefer a farsighted, who would see me clearly while distant (and thusly diminished by perspective) but not have a chance of seeing anything closer. Admittedly nearsighted is better as a metaphor. Do you think that's why so many people use it as a metaphor?

Well, everybody has keys.
