Oedipus

When you blinded yourself you became a walking advert for thievery. It was customary in Thebes to blind criminals. You stole truth from dust clouds. You stole love from everything including the grass. Those who pretend to love must grope their ways through orchards and stumble in dry riverbeds. Sometimes you lay down in a woody place and without skill braided your own hair.
