I look up from the base of the funnel of life
Where activities are going on.
Here at the base I am in a bare cell,
Walking around in the rain
I see lighted houses
And people nestled together in cars.
There I am sitting at the table
While the conversation
Lives in a foreign tongue.
Loneliness- an universal emotion
But
Nobody is as far away as I.
