The Escape Cage
He wanted what he wanted til he got it
then didnt want it
so he could
want it again
when it was gone.
Oh my dears, the tears, the fears, the years.
Each escape became a cage to escape
and then one day
when he was old enough to know
he could know himself no older
he bent the cage into a bicycle
and rode it all the way to China
ringing the bell he made for you.
