Ignorant on the insides of a circle
And crammed in the corner of a square
On a sheet of paper more of a dark gray
With big bold black lines set as boundries

The way out is somewhere in the black space
Stretched out over and out of the chasm in my mind
Gridlocked and searching for relief
My choices leave me with sand in my bread

Open my eyes and now I've grown scales
My legs are longer with a layer of algae
My square becomes a cubical of wallless standing water
And I can swim up and down, but still can't get out

It seems like the water has frozen now
After a quick stir for murky mud and blurry sight
I gather a crowd to come and watch me try to get out
They point and stare and some lose interest and leave

If I could only get some tools
If I could only get my hands free to handle those tools
Suppose the ice were to melt
Could I walk away and be free

Held firm I wait and pray
Something explode, perhaps a swinging wrecking ball
Set me free or let me get free
When will the cubic solid prison release its hold?

He has made everything beautiful in its own time. -Ecclesiastes 3:11

Ah, Green! ~ You're getting stronger.
Loved it infinitely.
