Blindness is a total condition for those without the physical sight. It is though, not just a condition for those born at birth without vision, it is a condition for every creature on this planet.

A dog concentrating intently on it’s master holding a treat fails to see the meaning of the treat. The meaning could be bribery, kindness, love… the dog cares less as it only cares for the treat.

People are the same. They can’t see what is before their eyes.

Choosing some kind of belief or emotion and not understanding the meaning behind that. An interesting paradox of sight behind sight/meaning behind meaning.

In the past year I’ve done a lot of work for various people. Giving them a good days work for a good days pay. One individual saw me as nothing more than a pawn, a servant, a tool. He did not see. That’s okay as few can understand what is before their eyes.

Being what i am, it is a blessing and curse. A balance needed for me to stay in one piece. i see everything and so often dream that it was not so. A dream. Always the dream.

At night the flesh speaks, bulging through a sack to break free

Torrid passions of color/blackness/white

Balanced between the need for sleep and awake

 

Stepping upon stones that speak

Above the stars, scream

worms wiggle, solving the complex things

 

Blurring together like bodies lost in fuck

tying to combine tears and laughter

wringing out life to sing

 

“Listen,” she said while he said

“See”

 

Even now the path of a fly climbing a window squeaks loudly

so loudly the colors are seen

so vibrant

bold

 

It matters not though, to creatures blinded by routine

by self-taught choices of mundane

leaving such a palate of wonder

for such creatures

like what is contained.
