The Windows Between Us
written by: Dr. Humeira Jawed
We…
Walled with windows,
Leaning, learning.. virtually,
Training for tomorrow.
Zooming in, zoning out,
Delving in digital place,
Our classrooms orbit about;
Around time and space.
These distant domains,
Of experiential games.
Our interaction sustains,
In a gallery of frames.
How queer are the displays?
When muted and numb,
Or the unmuted pathways
Of this virtual slum!
The comfort in chaos,
Contained and connected;
The more we see across –
More we are self-reflected.
Normalizing the new,
Of life long learning,
This life is a long pursue,
From windows, discerning.
Time will remember,
History will never cease –
To forget the quiver;
Of our online odysseys.
The windows, in between,
Our real and reality;
Are screens of future foreseen,
Of hopes, of opportunity!
