"And though she be but little, she is fierce."- Shakespeare


All these houses

The shades pulled up, the light shining through

So I can see the beauty of the interior

I see pictures perfectly framed

Symmetrical on the wall

Couches and tables and shelves holding

Little mementos- of sentimental value to someone

That mother didn't run home and close the shades

As soon as darkness broke

That father is playing and spending time

With his family

I can hear them laughing

They aren't hungry

That mother didn't pull the shades because

She's not afraid

For anyone to look inside

And see the truth
