Stuck
The cool spring air tickles my skin
as it creeps in from my windows
crawling up my legs
and blowing on my neck
it teases me
the birds on the telephone wire sing,
laugh- almost like they know
that I sit here withering away
in jealousy
of their agency
But for now
I take what I can get
I close my eyes
And let my imagination guide me until
I’m finally outside
