  2. Literary Analysis: Claim This poem uses excellent imagery to depict how blind folks affect our lives, to evoke sympathy for the blind, and to criticize mainstream America for its callousness towards the disabled. In the first three lines Kooser describes how the blind can suddenly fill an elevator “with a great white porcupine of canes.” A porcupine is noted for its prickliness; we are apprehensive when it is around and we do not want to touch it. The blind person, according to Kooser, evokes a similar reaction: their presence in a situation causes “prickliness,” and it makes us uncomfortable. Data Commentary

The Blind Always Come as Such a Surpriseby Ted Kooser • The blind always come as such a surprise,suddenly filling an elevatorwith a great white porcupine of canes,or coming down upon us in a noisy crowdlike the eye of a hurricane.The dashboards of cars stopped at crosswalksand the shoes of commuters on trainsare covered with sentencesstruck down in mid-flight by the canes of the blind.Each of them changes our lives,tapping across the bright circles of our ambitionslike cracks traversing the favorite china.
