Wondering wanderer
a sloppy stranger
seated on a stack of yesterday’s news
her cloth washed out
her sunglasses broken
her cotton bags bulged
she holds a piece of plastic
with written words
I am blind
Please help
in her other hand
her worn cap
with a few coins
I asked this blind beggar
why she didn't speak
she dropped her cap with coins
and her plastic sign
she told me
she had become deaf
for the people
who did not listen
while she was typing
on the touch screen
of her mobile phone
she turned her piece of plastic
and I read
my mission:
asking you
now who is really blind
and who has a kind vision
