The walls of a school bus consists almost entirely of windows
The passengers, almost entirely children
Some children draw on the windows
Others refuse to sit next to them
Instead sitting in the aisle seats,
To socialize
Some look up and try to avoid eye contact
Others read
Many, like the girl
Stare out of the windows
Watching the landscape pass by
The same landscape
Every day
But the girl
Knows better
Than to enjoy the view
For a jail cell with windows
Is still a cell
