Recognition

      video

I was walking down a flight of stairs,

and an old woman was walking

below me, carefully, one-step-at-a-time,

arm-in-arm with a younger woman,

dark-haired and slim.

They were talking in low voices,

and I only saw them from behind.

I assumed the girl was leading,

helping the old woman down.

But when they reached the landing

and turned to leave, I saw

that I was wrong, as I often am.

The slim young woman was blind.
