Dayroom

A scene from 40 yars ago.



Dayroom

Here the old men sat,
hunched against the wall,
replaying the footage of their lives
in the half-light of the dayroom.

A beam of sunlight slants through the window,
the projection playing dead centre of the room
as though not only heat
but life itself was somewhere far away.
