Watch, from above, the broken ice on Lake Erie;

See blackened edges of water drawn rather childishly by

Scattered little people-lights like Cheerios on a carpet

Smeared through two layers of glass and

Clustered by time rather than a futurist’s pen

But, nevertheless,

Cells

And organs

And persons

And prisons.
