Escape Plan Poem by Bill Knott
Escape Plan
I examine
my skin
searching for
the pore
with EXIT
over it
Get real Ramesh. Where is the beauty in twelve words expressing nothing?
I think he was looking for a way to free his soul from a suffering body.But his poem has wry and sensitive humor to it..I'm sorry he's gone since he is my poet discovery for today..rest in peace and thank you for your poetry..
I wholeheartedly agree with your perceptive comments about this intriguing poem Lorraine. I think it has to be considered in its context of suffering.
5 Stars full for this very thought-provoking poem. That the poet might be dying so true.
A thought provoking poem expressed in just minimal lines.
inside insider of the self; an escape of the earning self!

John, you're too late with your comment directed at Bill. He died in 2014, or so says PH. You say the message is suicide. I interpreted it differently. I thought maybe he was suffering from some kind of terminal illness such as cancer, and knew he was dying, but hoping to find a way out.
Thanks Kim... I see that now. But Escape Plan indicates a willing exit to me, not one waited for.... But I like your vision as well.
