Where I Come From, There’s Only One Rule: Don’t Talk Back
A boundary is a line
until you cross it
when it becomes a binding
leaving you all tied up
with nowhere to go
Until
like Harry Houdini
you make your impossible escape
which to you feels like freedom
but to those still bound and gagged
who
in light of your transgression
have further been blindfolded
it sounds like a disappearing act
because
though you may still be going
to them
that just makes you a goner
