TWICE REMOVED

and here is the simple text of the same poem, in case of difficulty reading the illustrated poem

TWICE REMOVED

Today the sky

is one removed

from second-hand

the space

of window-door

is boarded up

the new skylight

reveals

a mottled blue white

ceiling. And we

sealed off

held captive

to constructor’s

whim
