I see, said the blind man
I see 
 
 inspiration, pouring over the 
 
 dawn hinge horizon,
 
 rays of a new age- thoughts. 
 
 I see
 
 the door swinging, 
 
 hello daytime, the rush
 
 and push-pull-fast-go
 
 of a schedule. 
 
 We must do,
 
 we must earn,
 
 we must complete,
 
 this is utopia-
 
 minus perfection-
 
 we listen to the hierarchies commands,
 
 question? no.
 
 I see
 
 ignorance pooling in the
 
 bottomless pits labeled tear ducts,
 
 babies molded into
 
 a design set for 
 
 destruction-
 
 don’t think, just do,
 
 don’t care, just act. 
 
 Why strive, children,
 
 when
 
 you can follow the sheep to 
 
 the
 
 slaughter house? 
 
 I see
 
 a flag of possibilities,
 
 red blood smearing our steps
 
 as middle class blue 
 
 debate the moral code 
 
 of this fine society-
 
 let us not forget white,
 
 pure, raw, blinding
 
 …binding…
 
 light. 
 
 I see
 
 moments of white,
 
 selfless kindness,
 
 in genuine laughter,
 
 naive intentions,
 
 consumed love making.
 
 The baby sucking at 
 
 hope, maybe, hope.
 
 I see
 
 the slice of skin
 
 the burn of breathing,
 
 attention seeking? or 
 
 death.
 
 Proverb 3:14 commands the gays,
 
 to love 
 
 like all common sensed 
 
 lovers. 
 
 Shamefully, common sense
 
 is far from
 
 common.
 
 I see
 
 you.
 
 Striding, 
 
 wandering,
 
 learning, 
 
 absorbing.
 
 Hardly quiet, those 
 
 who claim mysterious
 
 are foolish,
 
 the novelties 
 
 written into your flesh,
 
 the orchestra 
 
 strumming through your mind,
 
 prove otherwise.
 
 I see
 
 myself,
 
 a girl
 
 a woman
 
 a human. 
 
 Feeble attempts to lick
 
 satisfaction and
 
 bathe in
 
 the orgasm we
 
 coin knowledge. 
 
 To understand and fall 
 
 back in self pity and mindless
 
 manners.
 
 Be more, find more
 
 listen, 
 
 -my tongue mastered the language
 
 of empathy 
 
 while my mind crumbles and writhes. 
 
 A toddler heart,
 
 cradled in him.
 
 I see
 
 time,
 
 mocking us all.
 
 For we waste it,
 
 by speculating the
 
 time
 
 wasted 
 
 on wasting time.
 
 Waste.
 
 Ones mans waste
 
 is another’s treasure.
 
 Learn from the past, fold it
 
 and keep it in your
 
 denim pockets.
 
 Find your present 
 
 and kiss her with 
 
 a passion 
 
 the wicked grin at.
 
 Mind your future,
 
 don’t live in
 
 the true
 
 arbitrary manner 
 
 it is defined.
 
 I see,
 
 I see,
 
 I see,
 
 I see the “holy angel-headed hipsters”
 
 Ginsberg so masterfully
 
 perceived
 
 We are more than an 
 
 archetype. 
 
 I see,
 
 so much through
 
 my blind eyes.
