Something inside me
just won't let go

There is a prisoner
within

Imagine an orphaned
word in a book

This is what it feels like
right now

Just waiting to be set
free

Trapped by convention
and punctuation

Bracketed by the inertia
of grammar

Correct form, hereditary
obligations

Literary role models
etymology

Stanzas in lines
iambic pentameters

Hyphens semi colons
onomatopoeia's

A palindrome is the
fugitive of language

The only one capable
of escaping, the full stop.
