Im sure Hellen Keller is rolling in her grave. For years we have bought into the stereotype of the blind, being kind, mild-mannered and overcoming obstacles that those of us who are sight-enabled couldn’t imagine. Well no more! Apparently a rebel gang of the blind is leaving their mark on our fair city. Here is a close up of the rebel mark carefully planted at eye level on an abandoned building where I encountered it on a First Thursday walk. Blind Graffiti indeed. They are defacing public property and spreading their blind power message. But what is that message? I run my fingers over the raised dots of the rebel’s code but gain no comprehension. It could be, “1 potato 2 potato, 3 potato, 4…” it could be, “ink a bink a bottle of ink…” or it could be much more. Sorry Helen.
