The Glass Dome

A glass dome, smudged
 
smudged from past fingerprints
from prodding, trying, sometimes
 
just too hard
to get in,
 
The dome glass was not too thick,
but impenetrable, a dream too
far away,
 
Inside the dome was confusion,
 
an impossibility of extremes
a life too perfect
and with sighs of; “if only”
 
Each day
more fingerprints would appear
upon the glass
 
of the dome of disatifaction.
