Street car Adventures

i was sitting on the street car and a man got on and sat next to me, he sat down very close at first and then scooted away. he had sunglasses on and they were very cool looking so i said "hey, i like your sunglasses," it was evening time and i had about a 30 minute ride back to school. the man and i sat and had a conversation about new orleans and what he liked about it. i never realized until we got to his stop that the man was blind. it never even occurred to me or crossed my mind because for those 30 minutes in that streetcar that man was just like me and the only thing that mattered was our conversation.
