Thank You-Poem One


Thank You.

the air stale,
musty and misty,
missed the escape!

the ancient guard blocked-
the entrance with new paradoxes
the cell reeked of riddles!

3 days worth of why,
6 months worth of whats,
5 years worth of hows.

he gives the answers-- try to pack them in tight.

one day he'll slip,
a question will repeat.

this marathon repeats,
the cells are out of space

the last breath comes

you're free to go!

again and again, tricked into learning.
