.
i made the front door my enemy
staying inside to concentrate
on written projects
i devilled away days
exorcised away my rights
to the world out there
now (with projects complete)
i approach the door
theorize that I am wanted beyond
to receive sustenance
and be free of my aches ...
... or
to become sustenance
give in to my condition
to pass back my remaining value
hand in my report
with the staples removed
be resolved
as some gaseous defeat
i bravely open the door
there is no attack by nature
nor any euphoric reward
i am left alone to feel my own way
to give and receive breaths
steps are taken
and signals interpreted
rejoining the world
as if uninterrupted
