World outside of my window is scary

Too scary to get out and mingle

Faces scary, ragged, resemble clothes dragged through dirt

Increasingly claustrophobic though

Walls seems to be closing in

Surrounded by shed skin, dead trees and dirty clay platters and things

I gazed at the alternative through these window panes

Who needs television the real drama’s out here

The trees resemble hungry Ethiopian children

Stripped, bare bones, flaky skins

And here come the commercials

I’ve never liked these terribly slow McDonalds adverts

But then suddenly, the creator released a dollop of paint

Then a flurry that whitewashed the view

Everything that was seemingly scary has now faded to white

In it I saw a new beginning, a wiped slate

So I captured it and posted it on ‘Facebook’

As DECEMBER 31ST.
