Blind Two-fold

Blind Two-fold

gossamer thread weaves a
reflective bandana
covering my eyes

it sparkles and glitters and
paints a pretty picture for
onlookers but
blocks me from
understanding things

my blindfold reflects
the world back at
itself, showing people
only what they
want to see

but immunity is
held by
the beholder

it’s protection from the
things that don’t really
need to be understood

or the things beyond
rationalization

because watching the
earth turn in despair
doesn’t help anyone

and I know that the
confused glances fall
over and towards my
eyes frequently

gossamer thread isn’t translucent
but there are some
things eyes aren’t
needed to see
