Blind Mowing

Grab the fuel can, tank up the lawn mower

Headphones on, grind the blades

Sit behind the wheel, fasten seat belt

Ignition, let’s go

Riding my lawn mower, is so much fun

Hair is blowing in the airstream

Feeling of freedom no one can comprehend

Sun is shining, warms my face

A fly

In my eye

Aaahhh…

I’m blind, I can’t find the throttle to slow down

I’m blind mowing, I can’t see where I’m driving

I have to rub my eyes harder to get the fly out of there

I hope I don’t mow the hose

Phew…

Got it

Oh shit, what have I done?

Left my front yard, crossed the street

Mowed the dachshund of Mrs Radzom

Blood and entrails on the sidewalk

Wild gesturing and screaming

Mrs Radzom ran at me

Got in panic, went full throttle

Guess where she is now united with her dog
