Into An Imagination That Goes Back You You, As Its Cage Alone. Poem by RIC BASTASA

would you have children
as dogs? quite a cruel
proposition, would you have
dogs as children? quite a
pitiful situation.

there is no choice sometimes

between cruelty and pity.
between arrogance and
humiliation. to avoid this
dilemma, one goes out of the
circle and slips from an orbit.
takes time really. takes the
anti-gravitational force
to skin you out from the
system. But it happens. It
simply happens. To me.

one day in your life you
are out. But it is not really
out. You in. Into freedom.

Bird away from a cage. Into
the cage of space. Out of space.
Into the cage of a black hole.
Into an imagination that goes
back you you, as its cage alone.
