This is the Outside Looking In


this is the outside looking in

you approach the door of the abandoned warehouse
cracked asphalt, piles of refuse all around
the smell of stale axle grease

you peer into the darkness of a filthy window
sweat forms on the back of your neck as the sun beats down

you see your reflection
time stands still

you long for something, anything
anything to remind you of what it is like
to feel, to want, to experience--to be
even if only for a moment

you pull the rusty warehouse door
it drags, it creaks, it opens

you step inside, and turn
facing the bright, filthy window

this is the inside looking out
