Them; /
Heads down, headphones on /
Noses in phones; dozing /
On this slave ship modern /
Faster for sure /
And we pay without sweat /
Still, just small cogs /
Spinning in a new history /
Me; /
I can’t read, write, sleep /
I’m at the window /
Face on the glass /
A kid waiting for dad /
This land unfolding is his car door opening /
Portal to everywhere /
I want to pass through /
Squeeze; shoulders dislocating /
I’m outside /
The sun hard white /
Frozen air, blue curve /
Seeing everything, all/
of it all at once /
I’m a million eyes.
