Two poems: The blind man runs for president & The blind man knows


The blind man runs for president

knowing only darkness
his platform proclaims
he alone is best suited
to recognize the light

by touch
he will find the sun






The blind man knows

Nothing
            the nothing
                        that he is

and that
            nothing
                        he will become

but cannot see
            the relevance
                        from the backseat

of his father’s Ford
            with no one to drive
                        and his date

walking home
            in a dark
                        not his own
