i feel like I’m in a cafeteria
eyes jumping, i can’t find my seat
they’re all looking at me
i look down at my plate
my food is gone
but i haven’t even sat down to eat
i look to my right — the wall is bare and it understands
it is looked at all day
laughed at for being what it is
how can i relate to this man made structure?
i can see him building it now
children didn’t know to thank him for it
he died as a failure to himself
he didn’t get to witness the truth of what he’d done
how he impacted lives
it is a blessing and a catastrophe
