"Caged"
My study door stands
open what’s out
there

why do I feel

I’m free to go
walk away
into the spaces

of my life
do I dare

but I cannot
I’m stuck

here

paralysis snarls

yet

what will free
that caged door

and let me

out

8. This poem made me think of hamsters and gerbils -- really.
There's a syndrome with small rodents called 'cage paralysis.' In essence, if the animal is confined in too small an enclosure they lose mobility especially in the hind quarter and start dragging themselves around. The cure? A bigger cage.

9. My dear Gormy Cuss!
Uh, OK...

Whatever floats your boat!

That's the cool thing about poetry: It's open to many interpretations.

I guess we all live in some sort of cage, don't we?

11. My dear auntAgonist...
Yeah, that would seem to be the message, wouldn't it?

I was in a strange place when I wrote it.
