Slave
on a beautiful and
balmy August night I
sit within four walls

waiting for my phone
t
o ring and writing
down the calls

an air-conditoner
drowns out the warm
breeze outside that

I know is there but
I am just a slave to a
cold, suffocating room

as my parrot cries
f
or attention I am
stuck in detention

for I am just a
good ol' girl gone
very, very bad

sincerely missing a
virtual life I know
I almost had...
