keeping people in, out

Janet Frame writes of several hospitals, with walls and doors and gates and screens, keeping people in, and people out, and just yesterday, I read her 'Gorse is not People' in which a patient had been expecting to be able to leave when she turned 21.

The person whose hair is around

Another Sunday today, and I

in a city by the sea,
not a Sunday.
