approaching a sonnet with my safety in mind

The ground is my keyboard, I tap it
with my stick. There is a golf ball
on the end of it. When I want to look
something up on the internet, I go for a walk.
Because I am vision impaired, Google
has my future in mind: whenever
I cross the information superhighway,
they know which intersections Council
has superglued dimples to. One day
Google hopes to coat all access points
with their magic, logo-coloured data
so that in order to get to the other side
I must do a search with my stick...
tap tap, tap tap tap, click.
