[for Ellie's book poem challenge]
In last,
the brat
pointed
to the slate,
to the grid
chalked there.
"And then
he found a way out
of the maze!",
he said,
and as he spoke
he erased a line
in that last square.
He smiled,
toothless,
to his best friend:
now
both of them
had it wrong
but that cage
of loneliness
was open wide
- at last!
