It's been a while
It's been awhile
since I looked outside.
But this morning I
peeked out between the blinds.
Two children made their way
along the cracked sidewalk.
From mom's arms to shining school,
the younger chattered and skipped.
From june's grin to sterile halls,
the older dragged and pulled himself.
It's been a while since I looked out,
because I always see myself.
