the morse | braille divide

i used to play guitar,
as i also used to fiddle with
my fingers, against the thumb...
titilating experience...
playing guitar?

let's just say...
how would a guitarist read
a morse version of
braille,
would it be easier
to read the morse
version of braille...

or just braille?
numbed tips of fingers
of a left hand...

point being... you really must have
tender finger tips to read braille...
which also implies...
if were not born blind...
when you were not blind
and had to roughen your hands up,
with some mediocre "waste of time"
akin to playing a guitar?
shit... you're fucked!
no, literally...
because if braille is the answer...
and you have thick finger-tips?!
that's it...

unless of course,
braille is replaced with morse...
test: i write with my right hand...
but... if i were to read?
i.e. use my left hand
for both playing the guitar
and reading?
braille, or morse?
morse!
at least it is adherent to some
sort of translateable
arithmetic / quasi-algebra...

you must have very tender
finger tips to read braille...
i tried it a few times,
given that its provided on
most of the packaging
of pharmaceuticals in england...

i.e. diabetic type 1,
born with it,
diabetic type 2,
overdid the chocolate...

sorry, my finger tips are too rough,
shouldn't have learned to
play the guitar,
i couldn't read you braille
with these fingers...
but if you translated braille
into morse?
chances are...
i probably could.

plus? i wouldn't require tender
fingertips, akin to a french origin
braille reader...

give me morse, blind?
i could read it...
but, the current braille?
requiring tender french
finger-tips? no hyphen,
solely dotty?

well... good luck...
finding the next blind lemon jefferson...
who, apart from playing the guitar,
could also read braille...
good luck!
