at times I think these walls
are laughing at me
Hey, look
here's a boy who has no problem spending
twelve hours all alone in a room
with no human interaction whatsoever
Oh, look
he even enjoys it
he wouldn't have it any other way
Goddammit, we're an office here
but if we were a jail...
I think he'll be the kind of prisoner
who throws his bucket of slops in the
guard's face when the guard comes to
free him from solitary confinement,
you know, so he can spend more time
in solitary confinement.
You're right. I wish we formed a jail here
instead of an office
and look upon this boy
Yeah, I hear you, bro
I always wanted to be a prison wall
Ever since I was built
That's an entertained wall
one who forms a prison
there's really something to see there
I wish I was a bedroom wall
D' you think the walls that form his bedroom
are entertained? Better than us from the office?
This guy? You kidding?
He probably does in bedroom the same
thing he's doing here in the office
Just sitting there,
an absolute silence about him
How can he be so content about it?
Perhaps he doesn't know any better
You know what I'd like?
To be a wall of his mind.
Hehe, that we are already, brother.

Walls only make a prison if the one inside wants out. That doesn’t sound like the case here.

Absolutely love this ridicule of imprisonment in an office; It really resonates, as I was once an office prisoner.

Yet it is thanks to this ‘prison’ that I picked up writing poetry 🙂
