The Blind Always Come as Such a Suprise Anaylsis

"The Blind Always Come as such a Surprise" is a poem by Ted Kooser and I will go line by line trying to analysis the poem from my perspective. In the first line, the narrator says that the "Blind always come as such a surprise," which also is the title. I believe that the narrator was saying that whenever one sees blind people the sight is unusual and surprising. The next line says that the blind fill up an elevator. Basically the narrator was saying that when the blind get on an elevator their presence feels very intimidating and large when compared to the average person that gets on elevators. In addition, the next line says that the blind come in the elevator with a great white porcupine of canes; the narrator may have said that the canes where whte porcupines to show that the canes are very innocent, but the average person does not want to get in its way, just like people would avoid porcupines. Furthermore, the next line says that the blind went into the elevator as a noisy crowd; the narrator may have said that to show that the blind's presence is feels much larger than the average person and that every action they do feels "bigger" than an average non-blind person. The next line says that the event was like being in the eye of a hurricane. Ted Kooser put that in the poem to show irony, since he included both the words eye and the phrase eye of a hurricane, which looks like an eye. He did this since it is ironic that the blind can create an image of an eye, even though their eyes may not work. The narrator later says that the dashboards of cars stopped; this line is put in the poem to show that people stop in their tracks when the blind come onto their sights. In addition, the next line says that people's shoes stood still on the trains; this is line was put into the poem to further emphasize that the blind's presence stops people in their tracks, since their presence may feel intimidating towards others. The next couple of lines says that sentences are struck down in mid-flight by the canes of the blind; the narrator was basically saying that when the blind come, people stop suddenly stop their conversations. Furthermore, the couple of lines say that the blind change our lives and tap across the bright circles of our ambitions; the narrator was basically saying that the blind can positively impact people and make them focus on their ambitions. Finally, the last line says " Like cracks traversing the favorite china," but unfortunately I do not know what to make of this line and do not know how to interpret it.
