They explore the world br through windows, br church windows, br school windows, br two up, two down windows, br castle windows, br large windows, br small windows. br br They see it all, br from blameless to guilty, br from noble to treacherous, br through windows. br From skyscraper windows, br to basement flat windows, br from paupers windows, br and palace windows br br they watch, absorb, suck it in. br br Later when they have grown br they will remember, br try to empathise, br rationalise br decipher the coded metaphors, br but some day br they will be demoralised br by the windows of life. br br There they sit wistfully watching br the children br br of our times.
