On the Surface
Listen to poem:
Looking out the window
I feel the distance
the gap between them and me
They carry on as they would
were I not around
On either side of this pane
life would go on
no harm done
In a way it captures and frames
perspective on the surface
me being free of responsibility
relieved of burden
Time standing still
where nothing matters
in a gaping vacuum
between the them and the me
And it is liberating
