I saw a ladybird
on the bus -
stuck, crawling
helplessly
along the edges
of the glass. it

struggled up the
windowpane
until it realised
up
was no better
than down,

and right
no better than
left. everything
on the other
side was just
a dream.

where do we
walk, if not in

circles
I freed it.

Oh, I like this. The short lines create a nice bouncy rhythm, which helps the reader grasp the message almost like a child would in a nursery rhyme. Very clever.
