Elevator Ride
May 25, 2008
I am alienated in my own sense of belonging
For only me is not wishing to be somewhere else
Colors dripping like sand dunes
Pull softly at my eyelids and reflect in my irises
Busy people mill like ants and never turn back
So I am left alone smiling in my dilapidated elevator
This is a feat and I am a broken record
I mean
An immigrant an orphan a child
yet I am still here
Laughing while I push all the buttons
Sending me
Up,
Up,
and
Away
