like lonely grass reduced to PGA lengths
hemmed in by white paving
like wild flowers in raised sleeper beds
out of reach of more fertile fields
like black-birds nesting in machined-tooled boxes
out of sight of the forest
like polar bears in a child-infested zoo
missing their glacial quiet
like a killer whale peering through glass
at knitting grandmothers
like a 58 year old man tethered to the white light of his next zoom call
while the sun breaks through a crack in his bedroom blinds
- we were made for more than this
