Nice girls do not fly

Nice girls donot fly

The echoing voice a distant crow

Down in the valley of papers

Papers clipped to your character

Down in the valley of meetings

Budget conferences, hopes and glories.

She comes out in the balcony.

A melancholy sky is diving over a kite.

She looks back

Beyond the void space and

Buttery faces of mindless men

Her cell rings with demands.

She opens her wings

(that her mother had told

do not belong to nice girls)

Distant men and crows are alike

Small and insignificant.

I think you understand the restraints that many must live under, and especially women. Nicely done!
