….I’m a lazy dancer
When you move I move with you
It’s one of those calm nights..
It’s nice…

There’s a sense of…patience. There’s no need to rush anything. There’s no need for a physical interaction. Maybe a slight breathlessness stemming from the gut. But at the same time, a fear of anything being planted. Hesitation. Waiting. I touch you here because it’s normal to do so. Touch me there because I want you to, but only slightly, because I barely know you. Will you tell me if you feel strange taking a step further? Anxiousness. Patience. Patience. Patience. Breathe. It’s ok. It’s not weird unless one of you speaks, or forever hold your peace. But it’s a peaceful awkwardness. In the sense that I don’t know what to do, and you don’t know what to do because it has been a long time since anyone knew what to do. But I still don’t know what to do.
What..

I want to learn about braille.
Most of us are given the gift of sight from the moment we’re born. I am allowed to see the world with 20/20 vision. I never knew what it was like to see my world blurry, only through other people’s glasses. I have always been fascinated by glasses. I will always grab other’s glasses without thinking, in order to see what it feels like. Mostly always. See what it feels. To see if I feel different. If for some wonderful reason I can feel what I see. Redundant.
But what would it be like to see the world with blurry eyes 100% of the time, if not for glasses? That sentence sounds horrible.
Even more interesting, what if I was blind? The thought of not being able to see at all. But we’re talking physically.
What does it mean to not see, metaphorically?
“My mind is blind…”
“To be colorblind…”
“Your heart is blind…”
“They are blind to…”
“America is blind to…”
If only braille allows us to metaphorically see the things we usually don’t notice.
But damn. Braille would be difficult to learn for someone who thinks they already can see. Imagine, physically blind people refusing to learn braille because they think they can read a book with printed words just fine. I guess they would be blind in both meanings of the word.
