night vision not blindness

Darkness is not dark enough
You claim to have served in the Air Force
I presume you would have served
in darkness
and don't you recall,
after some time
one overcomes night blindness
and
one can see in to the dark sea,
as one can during broad day light

otherwise how do you say
owls see clearly at night,
they have no special night vision

the darker the night,
the clearer one sees

as you walk into your bathroom
you switch on no lights,
ere you become blind
once again for a while

so go back ole veteran
and recall
there is something known as
night vision after all
so don’t make any stories so tall.
