i looked to my left
a vast nothingnes befell
to my right behold
are walls too cold from lack of touch
above the sun is shining
but with whom am i to rejoice
come rain come sunshine
tugged in a blanket or a pool alone
are all i've ever known
mom and dad are all long gone
both to work to come at dawn
friends and foe outside the wall stand
and gaze at my home of vast emptiness
a place that all is never there
