Windows windows everywhere 

some look in, 

all look out

Pass by

you look through 

Pass by 

others look you 

Frame a view 

stuck in time 

by you 

for you. 

'They' shine in the morning 

and you shine at night 

"Draw the curtains,

It’s getting dark"

The awkwardness of modern spaces 

The awkwardness of ‘eyes on you’ 

Windows facing windows 

Windows facing walls 

Windows facing trains 

Windows facing drains 

"Can I get the sea-facing room, please?"

"Sorry ma'am, we only have two" 

You pay for the view 

And the city does too                            

Each room should have one 

Each toilet should too 

Each house should have plenty 

Unless the neighbours do too 

Windows make facades 

Facades make streets 

Streets make cities 

Cities make us 

But we make the cities 

and choose those facades, 

A repetition 

of function over form 

So, 

Here at assembly

What are we framing?

One frame's the wall

One frame's the street

One frame's the frame

and 

One frame's you!
