Looking out the window of my cell
There is nothing but whiteness
There is nothing but whiteness
because there is a film on the window
Is the film to keep me from seeing out?
Or to keep others from seeing in?
There is a tiny tear at the top of the window
Looking out the tear I see a steel mesh
fence and razor wire above that
When the sun hits, the fence —
No, a SHADOW of a fence covers the window
A tiny bird lands on the fence
No, a SHADOW of a tiny bird lands on
the SHADOW of the fence
I watch the bird fly away
I mean, the SHADOW of the bird
flies away
Is the film on the window to keep me
from looking out?
Or to keep you from looking in?
It doesn’t matter because it is all just
a SHADOW of freedom.
