Walking With My Eyes Closed

WALKING WITH MY EYES CLOSED

familiar whirr of police siren
grows LARGER and LOUDER
                                                pulling me over

i must exit the driver’s seat
h i c c u p my replies
slur a few white lies

he sure looks sharp
this young man          in blue
but a bit too stern

i enter a plea of please
he shuffles his feet
this awful beast

examines my      eyes and ears
blindfolded i walk the line-----------------------

i steer like a tightrope walker
my      feet feel      the bright white light

it leads me                           across state lines
trolling the line from east to west--------------------

blindsided and tipsy,
a bit giddy      besides

but      sooner or later     i’ll find
an officer      S T R A D D L E D
         over                 me

you see….. i’ve been walking,
 with my eyes closed
…but only in my mind
