Blind Man could sample a tray of seaweeds and name the rocks they came from.
In his day, every point of land had a name, every cliff, even big rocks.
You memorized these things, you spoke to the places because they kept you alive.
He never got it wrong; it was more than taste.
We played a game,
creeping under the stairs to tug a pant leg.
He did not lurch. Never smiled, never got angry.
Just rocked. And stared.
We werenât trying to be mean; we were village kids.
Becoming men, we feel something strange
curling like smoke that has to come from somewhereâ
anger and cruelty just below the surface
coming from a place
we could not see,
that we had no names for.
Weâre people familiar with the outside world.
