Reading Pen For The Blind

As my vision decreases further (my left eye is down to light perception only now), I am finding it increasingly difficult to use the microwave, stove, washer and dryer...I haven't washed my laundry since moving into my new apartment, because I don't know the new appliances' settings.

I have read about tacti-mark pens and bump stick-ons...what are somoe other ways to mark appliances, and what, in your opinion, is the best way and why?

i know someone legally blind (can barely see) and she had the same difficult. we eventually figured something out. we got some stickers (very small-tiny, round stick out-lump) and put them on things for her to notice things.

example:
microwave-i put a sticker on the odd numbers and start
washing machine-i put 1 on warm and she know cold is to the right and hot is to the left
water, juice, soda- 1 on the water bottle, 2 on the juice bottle, 3 on the soda bottle

i got the stickers from an arts and craft store

Before you answer, these are some of lil waynes lyrics

Shawty wanna thug

Lights of

anthrax lab on a west virginia farm

Blind

The world blurs you,
The words tumble into imaginary slips,
The eyes off other wander through your story
The mice scavenge through the pipes.
Once again you are lost.
Once more trapped in an equator of black.
Once it has tipped none can et back in.
Once flown, now lost.
But calmness and serenity are usless.
But again there are problems.
But there is no light n this.
But hope is gone.
pen your mouth.
Open your ears.
Open your hand.
Open your eyes.
What do you see?

I know, my poems are........unique, but I would like your comments and advice. I believe there is always room for improvement :) Btw, I WILL NOT change my style of writing, this is how I write, in my own way.　Asnyways, when you read this, what image do you get?

i like how you use the first word over and over and use it in a different context every time. and when i read your poem, i kinda think that you keep on losing something. like it sometimes is in reach, and you want to reach it, but you feel as though there is resistance is on the other side. you don't want the other side to resist; you want it to just know you are there. but at the same time, when the other side sees you you don't know how it is going to react and you are afraid of the outcome. very deep!! and by the way, great poem!! i wouldn't change your style at all!! it fits you perfectly. =))
