Vivarium

Beyond the thick glass wall,
is a giant wooden bookshelf
filled with leather bound books
far too big for me to read.

Beyond the thick glass wall,
is a giant marble floor
made of white and gray tiles,
too far for me to reach.

Beyond the thick glass wall,
are giant curious people
with large houses, and new cars;
they view me with awe.

Beyond the thick glass wall,
is a near endless world
with monolithic trees and vast rivers;
greener, clearer than what I've known.

Beyond the thick glass wall,
I see myself at a table, sleeping,
waiting to be woken up.
Frantically, I start tapping the glass.
