The other side

I don't think I wanted to be here
-unfamiliar, dark environs
semblance of humanity
staring back from windows
shows different worlds
-and then I know
learning helps
-to know
Me

      1. Nine lines – a nonet, 10 lines an Etheree. I might be losing it, so if I am… I’m sorry. I worked on taxes all day. Brain dead, might be the better term. ❤

            1. LOL! I worked in accounting for over 20 years. It definitely uses a different part of your brain. I’m exhausted! 🥱❤️
