The Blind Beggar

He told me that he'd seen God

And that's why he was blind

He couldn't look away

That's why he went mad

He said that heaven's air

Tasted like berries on your tongue

And Earth's was like angry tears

He said there your body

Tingles with unheard music

Here it's numb as a block of wood

He talked to God everywhere

Like they were close friends

And everywhere people said

"God's got better things

To occupy his time

Than the likes of you."

The beggar just kept a smile on his face

Bright as crystal in sunlight
