Communication Static

You can't hear me.

Hello!?

Can’t you hear me!?

Am I trapped behind a glass wall?

Am I trapped behind a row of

Thick black bars?

When I cling to them

And scream

Are you only staring?

Like I’m a goddamn ape

In a goddamn zoo

And you’re just a goddamn visitor?

Please!

Your ears are still young

But my screams are only weakening.
