#430 on our knees

two black eyes covered with two post-it notes
social billboard
and a man faces us in the elevator
and we strangers are joined in discomfort, unnerved
necks angled, joint attention pseudo-gaze at digital floor numbers ascending
and the crazy man ain't so crazy
he sees the bars that we love
we call the bars beautiful
he calls them ugly
stares us in the face
and we refuse to see
instead we do unspeakable things to our jailers
