Kay Kestner
Here, we know the windows-- plexiglass to bounce us back from... where was it we would go? Somewhere beneath the sun the moon the infinity of stars. It was such a simple dream forbidden in their therapeutic walls. All we wanted was to walk through a fenceless field beside the curving waters beneath a sky of blue. But "for our own good" all we could touch was plexiglass glass tinted storm cloud.
