Which Prison Do I Choose
--

Which prison do I choose now
which hallway do I stroll down
to be locked away for eternity
do I dance and laugh and be free
shackled by poverty and ennui
and pain
bonds of my own forging

do I follow
order
rhyme
and reason
to relax in my cell of
cold comfort
auto in the lawn
waking just after dawn
monthly paychecks
chaining me down

am I dionysus
am I apollo
do I lead
do I follow
which cage do I crawl in
which bars do I die behind

Three Cheers
Lessons I've Forgotten
