this was a window created, made with an outside on either side. wasn’t enough to be left out in the cold, watching what was indoors, all the lovely enthusiasms that didn’t involve you, but a reflection of what it might be like if you were allowed in there, standing, smiling, a window with built-in reminders that you were never just so outside-inside that you could offer a twisted grin, feel your stomach tense in such a way that you won’t move from that window, insides on your outside, and watch yourself take one last look, see if you don’t notice what’s been left out.
