you know that part of
Oh the Places You’ll Go
where you’re in
The Waiting Place?
that hellhole of liminality
of sepia haze?
you must decide:
do you survive until you
escape The Waiting Place?
or let everyone hear you go out
with a bang
letting them know your name and
the name of the man
who imprisoned you?
