    powerless

    Window pining for the future

    Sees everything

    Can’t do anything

    Offers a clear worldview without bias or judgment

    People see right through it

    It feels naked in the sun

    Gray skies gave it a much-needed break

    An immobile device without the ability to change anything

    Negativity defines it more than positivity

    Things are kept out. Nothing is allowed in.

    Shades close it off

    While it gives the illusion of choice how many actually open it

    It is a rare event that a window is truly moved by what it sees or observes

    Inside never goes outside

    Outside never goes inside

    Both worlds move forward in absurd ways

    With the inside dweller keeping up a set of bizarre daily rituals while the outside stays spontaneous

    Yet despite this distance, this enormity of difference, it is only a single glass that separates them

    How can the window do anything more than break apart space?

    That’s all it was designed to do
