731 South Baker Street


I stand in the wide stare
Of clouded, sun-yellowed panes.
Age-worn glass, wise, weathered 
with life.

Age-wrinkled frames
Urging me to see
What they have seen.
What has happened here?
What all have they witness?

I can look into them,
Beyond the surface into
Great depths or gaze
Back at the familiar,
Naïve reflected face.

I stand in the wide stare
Of these panes
Trying to see, to learn
All of what they can teach

About the world.
