An excerpt from the story

Square window, wide window, window up high.

My window, your window, windows with blinds.

Windows with curtains and windows with lights,

Windows with sleeping cats curled up inside.

Windows where people are watering plants,

Windows where people are learning to dance,

Learning to sew, learning to cook, falling

In love with the words of a book. The sounds

Of a song that float through

the air, the smell of people

cooking in homes everywhere...
