Sitting down, legs akimbo, rejected, shaken, unhappy, thirsty  - for some bizarre reason, a poem by Turok Stone, learned at school,  came to mind:


Strangers

I am a stranger in this land

Amongst others familiar

I speak the language

But the words don't mean the same

I am not so happy to be here

And, dropped into this foreign place

Estranged

Tied to convention

I hide my fear, and

If I could, disappear

But there was no disappearance, only pain and hurt and frustration of being imprisoned, and though free to move, nevertheless tethered by a transparent skin.  He wept profusely until exhaustion glided him into sleep, and there to dream.
