This dusty topographical globe had incised lines that flowed <br />Downwards from the axis pole in curls of random rows <br />And a broken line delineated a fragmented jagged nose <br /> <br />From the equator outwards <br />A broad smile reached the tropics <br />Yet undisturbed lay the dust <br />In the place of eyes or sockets <br /> <br />This dusty topographical globe <br />In its expression seemed so blind <br />And did not represent regional divisions <br />Or disputed borderlines <br /> <br />Feather art of a sort I thought <br />And surely it is better <br />For a long haired blind man <br />To have a hair cut now rather than later - <br />So I spun the globe in various arcs aligned with the feather <br /> <br />© Calac<br /><br />Chris Lane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-is-better-for-a-long-haired-blind-man-to-have-a-hair-cut-now-rather-than-later/
