Surprising The Blind
by Philip F De Pinto
She surprises the bard from behind
For which she has fallen hard and fast albeit
His rhyme is blind as a fish tank full of glass eyes
But so is his prose blind and clicking
And oscillating its cane on pavements
Themselves in need of seeing eye mongrel
Who feigns sight and pretenses to lead the blind
And she who herself is wanting for sight
Surprising the blind bard from behind
For which she has fallen hard and fast albeit
She pretenses to read the prose and the rhyme
Blind as the eyes on the tails of pheasants
