[Blindtlk] Online Dating

[Carly Mihalakis]

Evening, beautifully blind Robin,

You  might listen for a smile in his voice, the creases perhaps, 
etched in his face as his expression rearranges? Notice light pouring 
off his being, or notice an abscence of said light, too. You'll know 
too, don't need a stinkin' picture to know what you need to know, 
that is, if you trust your intuition?
