powerless
by beach sloth
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
