My chewed lips reek
like a printing press
of unseen word formations
discovered on a blind
man’s Rosetta Stone.

I have a blind man’s walk
and no need of a stick.
The earth and empty spaces
parking lots
chattering malls
tap me on in
mocking inarticulacy.

I need no guide dog
lights and soft pop songs
gossip about my
anonymity in dreams.

Really well written

and clever. May not have been your intention but the world of sound around me opened up as I read it. Am a bit unsure of the meaning of the last stanza, where it is going, cheers, Jess
