A Blind Man Thinking While Drinking

By Michael John McCrae
Oct. 26, 2004

Today (26, OCT) Marks 30 Years of Marriage to the Mother of my Children and the Wife of my Lifetime. I Felt Poetic Today.

I am glad I cannot see
The inside of this cup
I have no clue
The last time it was cleaned
But the coffee is hot
With its intensely fresh smell
Oh how someone can make coffee
With such heavenly odor

I understand the color black
Is like not having sight
So it isn’t so hard
To know color while blind
Perhaps one color is enough
This coffee is good
A flavor most colorful
The color I understand

Breakfast is my time of day
Though all times each day seem the same
I know there are differences
I sense the troubles of those near me
I avoid their pity like I avoid liver
Liver and pity smell the same
I would call it an ugly smell
If I knew what ugly was

How satisfied can I be today
Do I care that sight separates me
From those who fall in love with beauty
I wouldn’t know beauty except by smell
Now there are things to love by smell
Fresh rolls, Spring walks, hot coffee
Flower shops, new mowed grass, shampooed hair
You don’t need to see too find something to love.

Sometimes you have to be blind to see.

About the Author: Michael John McCrae is an Independent, Conservative, Christian who has been personally insulted as a voter because John Kerry thinks the "Heart and Soul of America" lays in the "X-rated sexual innuendo" of Whoopi Goldberg. Well, Michael McCrae thinks America is better than that. Michael McCrae believes there is at least some morality left. So Michael McCrae is going to leave this here (until after the election) as a reminder to all of what John Kerry and John Edwards believe the Real America to be. They believe America's "heart and soul" resides in the "X-rated sexual innuendo" of Whoopi Goldberg. You can draw your own conclusions. Email: macswordV@hotmail.com
