Do Not Be Afraid of Blind Travelers
Do not be afraid of blind travelers;
grab an arm; pull
in a fervor
to keep him from tumbling,
not knowing the jags beneath.
A boy had ripped off
red, tattered socks
and begged at a courthouse
for cloth-wraps; the
lawyers breathed judgement, sniffed
purity, poverty; police stood
leering statues,
honorable enough; there is no point,
judging them.
{Poem by Arthur E. Pichou}
