“Are you seeing this?”

“Eye do.”

“You see those leaves?”

“Eye do.”

“You see that smile?”

“Eye do.”

“And you see the farmers?

The cows and their young.

You see the sick dying.

And the little ones grow.

You see the seasons change.

The colors swirl within.

You see a kid unwrap a gift.

The animals flit and run.

Shiny and clean.

Dirty and old…”

“Eye do.”

“But you can’t.”

“But eye do.”

“You’re blind.”

“I’m what?”

“And deaf too.”
