Can you create a new reality based
on an old imagination that tends
to corrupt here and now? Your life
was once seemingly, unbearably,
and incorrigibly suffered.
You were shelterless, forging walls
to hold out the harder views you pound
with blooded palms. The link fence
is so cold the hands hurt.
The realization seeps in through
the pores antagonizing the sweat
trying to get to air. Once locked
in, no one is ever going to get
you out.
