the whitewash

there is nothing
i can say to
make you
understand

the boxes
the intangible
loneliness

of lysol, white
walls

and jackets

crammed into
boxes

like st. helen

there is no
excitement
here

only anxiety
& fingers cut
to the bone

and the knowledge
that outside
everything is
the same

that it is always

the same.

I find it very lonely that this lovely poem has no comments. here is a comment about this lovely poem in this lonely place. I am not voting for sympathy. or from sympathy. this is a lovely place where all the flowers are across the field. this is a lovely poem where all the flowers are under the field.
