they twist and turn and connive
to lessen the impact, of the fact
that they were borne through time
to torment me where I sit.
There's a crazy person in the corner,
cutting out a never ending
stream of paper people days.
Fragile, joined together only by
their wafer thin hands.
Out of the window I can see the life trees
of the other people that live on the hill,
their days seem like golden leaves
that flutter gently down
in a pattern of variety.
The ceiling of my room seems lower
than it did last year.
The crazy person twitches,
stifles a laugh with a cough
and gets my attention for a while.
Like in days earlier,
or maybe it's the first time,
I push my forehead to the pane.
I push the anguish down
into the tightly knit place where it's kept.
I keep going back to the window,
compelled and propelled
to torture myself perverse.
I'm safe and yet I long and yearn
for silhouetted grass.
The walls of my room seem smaller
than they did last year.
The crazy person smiles,
beckoning me for a joyous time
of forgetting for a while.
I thank them.
