The Mime

by Eve Parker

He walks down the street

pounding on an invisible box

that only he believes in,

His face is painted, but his

eyes are real. he calls for help

to find a door, a window,

any way out, but no one can hear.

Though his mouth moves, the box

stops all sound from escaping.

And only he can decide when

the box will disappear
