Elective Affinities - Magritte
stop me if you can
contained, we are all safe -
little thoughtless packages
if I don't think it, you won't have to
you know, the "how do I get out?" question
some of us absorb our own shell
exist covered only by the membrane
less careful with ourselves
still blind
still unborn
able to sense the bars and the in-between
stop me if you can
I'm half way out of the conundrum
awaiting reabsorption into the womb
of the never-was bird
with the unspread wings
that chewed the bars from both sides
stop me if you can
getting in and out amount to the same thing
I'll sit off-centre a while longer
consider whether thought is an exit strategy
I've nearly known before
and it never got me anywhere
but I still wonder...
who turned the wood
placed the hook
needed me suspended in the first place
