A blind man in a ball pit.

I was sitting in a McDonalds playground
Eating a Happy Meal. I guess I was happy.
The kids around me certainly were,
Running around through a plastic castle of slides
And secret windows.
At the end of the last slide was a ball pit.
A particularly energetic boy shot
Down the final slide into the ball pit,
Submerging himself in the plastic rainbow pool.
I wasn’t sure if he had to hold his breath before splashing into the
Man made lake of color.
He must’ve because he was down there for a while.
“Jared!? Jared??” His name was apparently Jared.
The guardian tapped his way to the pit, and stepped precariously
Into the bath of spherical toys and dove his hands through the
Surface of color.
He didn’t see the balls. He didn’t have to.
He didn’t know how colorful they were. It didn’t matter to him.
He needed no help, and asked for none.
He scooted along, fishing with his hands.
You don’t fish with your eyes anyway.
You your hands, the way the water moves and how the fish respond to your hook.
The surface broke as the elusive Jared jumped out of the water.
Surprise!
