a window with a view

you want to look
out the window
and see water.
a blue spread
of sea with the waves
breaking
against white sand.
you want to look
out the window
and see ships
in the distant
horizon, sailboats
with grand white
sails full of wind.
you want to look
out and see the curve
of the earth,
gently disappearing
as far as the eye
can see.
you don't want to
see red bricks
divided by grey mortar
as you do now
from your apartment
