The two formed a strong friendship that carried on throughout the years, culminating in a special experience in which the blind man touched the wife’s face in order to more intimately get in touch with her. The wife “never forgot about it” (89). She even writes a poem about the experience, something that her husband admits she only does after something very important occurs in her life. The narrator himself, unlike his wife, doesn’t lead much of a social life. He sits at home, has no friends at all, and drinks, smokes and watches television constantly to keep himself occupied and to dull his relationships with the rest of the world.

In school I just listen and take notes about what is on the computer screen being projected on the wall while occasionally playing on my phone and sleeping. After school I drive home because I have nothing else to do and it has usually been a long day. When I get home I eat, watch television and procrastinate.
