When you walk
I see how you are harnessed
by the shoulders, by the head
When you look out of those eyes
preset to see
only what is permitted,
furtively scanning for recognition
I feel the burden there
When you smile
Towers of blockage fall
The light of you streams forth
just in a quick flash
and I know
there is hope for us all.
