The Day The Deaf Went Blind

The world disappeared
But only for an instant
Then boundaries died
And shape went extinct
And the world reappeared as blackness
Nothing was something
As huge as a thousand oceans
They ripped pages out of books
To build their fires
They felt the earth vibrating
Like a newborn child
They stripped off all their clothes
They gave themselves new names
Even god himself fell apart
Life itself became profane
Notions of nations became a joke
All bodies became beautiful
On the day the deaf went blind
The world disappeared
But only for an instant
Then boundaries died
And shape went extinct
And the world reappeared as blackness
Nothing was something
As huge as a thousand oceans
They ripped pages out of books
To build their fires
They felt the earth vibrating
Like a newborn child
They stripped off all their clothes
They gave themselves new names
Even god himself fell apart
Life itself became profane
They touched grass for the first time
They made love with
Every inch of their bodies
On the day the deaf went blind
They touched grass for the first time
They made love with
Every inch of their bodies
On the day the deaf went blind
