Not a chance at all...

"Margaret's activities must be circumscribed," said the doctor.

Green waters circumscribe an island’s pallid face,   
Hexagons of light, scattered jewels on the waves.   

Earthly hues, against litharge seas, shimmering gleam;
Albatross wings glide, an immaculate blue dream.

The scene suspends time, and worldly cares release - 
A whisper for the human eye, a quiet aurora’s peace....

If I want to circumscribe you
To revolve around you
With you as the centre
Will you let me?

If I want to plagiarize you

between dates
etched in stone
filled with momentary eternities
while i limp along
past the parade of their
final serenity
the crescendo
of wind
stirring up memory
fueling this
internal inferno
and another step
towards possibility...

By what delusional misconception
Does a people follow in obedience
A potentate’s decrees of servitude to state

By what level of constitutional dismantling
Does “We the People” have to be unglued
Before our comrades vote to remove potentates, dictators, and bullies...
