Sympathy for the trapped


These last few months, having been separated 
From one another like animals, 
Dangerous or endangered if released 
From behind the largely self-imposed fence, 
Do we not now, at the thought of freedom, 
Cringe — just a tiny bit? 
Have we not learned to sympathize — 
Just a wee bit more — 
With all those who feel trapped 
By their circumstances?
