Willie Lee

You do not understand,

I do not belong

Here

In this future world.

I can barely fathom

The vast changes

Beyond the walls

Of my dandelion

Colored bedroom.

The questions you children ask me every day,

Are they even questions?

Are you even children?

Are you really asking?

Am I really thinking?

Am I here?

Where am I?

Who are you?

Am I alone?

I am alone.

I do not belong

Here

You do not understand.
