The beautiful rowdy prisoners

The small man
Builds cages for everyone
He knows.
While the sage,
Who has to duck his head
When the moon is low,
Keeps dropping keys all night long
For the
Beautiful
Rowdy
Prisoners.
— Hafez

A old prison cell with a bare bed and light entering from above through a tiny window.
A cell at Eastern State Penitentiary

I try to imagine what the world could be, and see how it really is.
