Blind people must fall in love with a sense of mind a sense of touch/but when

you insist on finding shadows in which to kiss/and down the lights to cover

the sights of your nakedness/it feels so restrained/are we really ashamed/of

what we possess?/it's just nakedness/feeling too fat feeling too thin/needing

some clothing to cover the skin/thinking in terms of original sin/not knowing

where the other one's been/afraid to discuss the difference between/falling

in love and physical need/a thousand distant painted looks/staring from adver-

ts and top shelf books/makes us afraid of what we reveal/how it's portrayed is

not how it feels/it feels so individual/it feels so other-personal/dresses up

creates fiction/under restriction/fear of not being what the other one sees/

image contradicting what lies underneath/all the protection comes off in the

end/nothing left to judge you by - nothing to defend/covered up the truth so

long it seemed it wasn't there/here it is so laugh aloud or tell me why you're

scared
