Analysis of Perspective
Harold Creggan 1950 (Tadcastor)
As I peer from my one window I see the street below,
I see people walk their dogs, drive their cars,
and so.
I remember then, what it was like,
when it I could do.
Before I stumbled naively into places were you are not
allowed go.
I looked around quickly, saw I did not belong there and
swiftly tried to leave,
The arcane shadow forces led me into a snare,
it drew hard upon me, then I could believe.
So to this place I've been held.
