Dark Life Matters

Dark life matters Woke up in the night it was very dark put a hand out couldn´t see it. I wonder how it is to be blind? In this flat, if no one rearranges the furniture it would be easy, find the kitchen too. Opening the fridge is a breeze, it is of no interest if its light comes on or not. Remember to clean your hands! On nights like this, I should be contemplating my death but my vanity gets in the way. Should I smile or look grim, and would they remember to put tanning cream on my face? I friend of mine who works at the local supermarket is black and carries his skin with pride, is always glad to see me. How can you drive at your age, he asks? Easy, I feel my way. He finds this hysterically funny. If I stopped at a handicapped place and a police officer asked me why I parked there. I park here because I`m handicapped. You don´t look handicap, he will say. I will take off my sunglasses and say, officer, I´m blind.
