Words and images by Stephanie Montatore
We live in a town where
The world can’t touch us.
So, maybe we were made
To live life on the outer,
Maybe we were born for this.
The day we
Learnt to run, we swore
We would never go home.
A generation raised by
Radio static and siren sounds
Screams for some silence –
Isn’t that funny?
We’re dying to disconnect
The cords to the TV
And just be.
So, let’s stare at the sky and
Watch people passing by.
Let’s forget about the world
For it seems to have already
Forgotten about us.
