The cripple can still dream <br />of walking without other people's eyes <br />looking at his legs. <br />He can still imagine <br />himself dancing with a smiling lady <br />on the dancefloor. <br />He can still fantasize <br />that he can dance and dance. <br />He can still want <br />to have his toe stepped on. <br />The cripple can still feel <br />the pain and he can still forgive <br />and he can still have some romance.<br /><br />WILLIAM SIENES III<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-cripple-2/
