Back to back
feel the bone
back to front
pectorals warm
front to front
breast to breast
blind parts
do their daily tests
hands to mouth
scrape a living
hand to face
expressing the unforgiving
reason tends to treason
handshakes follow seasons
blind body parts test
sighted humans run like pests
its the blind who usually keep their reason,
the sighted folks tend to treason

Very insightful. I wonder if those who are blind learn the value of trust better than those of us whose independence is all too often taken for granted.

The short and terse format adds urgency to your words.

A very though provoking piece.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

purposely terse statements here to create that urgency!

Though I would not choose to be blind, not for any reason, But I do get so sick with seeing...........
