perspective

Focus on a square
Of wood
Hardware, wood type un-known
The surface is rough; the years have been unkind to it
It makes a hollow sound
If hit
Nothing is on the other side
It has all rotted away…

Focus on something else
A poster
Of two lovers
It is wrinkled; the girl has a water stain on her face
Perhaps she has been crying…

The walls
Are off-white; dirty
They have chips along the side
Tack-holes from numerous stabbings
They are dull
There is No trace of spirit at all…

The window is rectangular,
Tall and thin
A wire screen keeps things out,
Or in…

A girl
Sitting on a chair in front of a Laptop
How is it that her feelings flow into
Her surroundings?
