glass wall

there is a glass wall

it follows me around

it keeps me separate 

from all the people 

that come close. 


the glass wall allows me to see

everything that's outside

my fingertips brush the glass 

i long to cross to the other side. 


to not feel disconnected 

during an embrace

or all alone in a crowded room. 


but the glass wall

it sneaks up on me

and casts me aside 

i will never get to cross

i won't even get to try.
