Of course, such a short poem invites even closer word-by-word inspection, and the comment by Dennis above about how the poem turns and depends on the word "neon" immediately made me think of what an easy anagrammatic leap that is to "none" which fits quite well too. Kamsin's comment that this poem is about "how we have separated <I>ourselves</I> from the physical world" [emphasis added] works very well if the line can also be read "blinded by none."
