snap: the internal cage

… just like a poet,
contemporary,
to grunt and grizzle.

What can you tell
about a person
from their unhappiness?

~

We all have a cage
inside the other cage,
open

or closed,
hanging in there.

~

Poems are triggered
between the pun-up at midnight
and the write-down at dawn -

it’s the ancient phrase
and the latest craze
that signs our days.
