Paralysis
In a small room where the shadows grew large
I was thinking about my escape
Like a fisherman’s catch
Cast back into the greatest lake of Michigan
The room grew dim, and then glowed red
And cast me off into a deep sleep
Mind open, body stuck,
Climbing the deck of a boat-
Escape
As my body froze and I was fastened
To the cold relentless metal
And I opened my eyes
I never felt the tender brush of sleep again
