Enclosed in a glass building

i see the trees
i watch them sway and bend

i hear the birds
i listen to them chirping and singing

but i can't feel

...

the way water runs down off the leaves when rain hits them

and i can't feel

the soft gush of air that pounds off a birds wings during takeoff


i can't because i'm stuck

in a glass building

for everyone to see

,

for everyone to hear
...

but for no one to touch
-
for no one to love
