(But Still...)
I have been found
enclosed in this room
some miles from my own
too weakened by fear to move
I vacantly stare at the only
light source in the room
a poster of the moon
glowing, pinned against the opposite wall
inscribed with iridescent letters, mocking my fate
the words are imprinted on my eyelids now
\"we are not equipped to understand the world
but to directly experience its enigmatic mystery\"
there is no mystery here
just a body in a room
my small frame struggles to stand
knowing the man will be back
I limp across the small space
to the poster
I pull the tacks from the wall
and turn toward the barred windows
the screws are quick work
the only mystery remaining
is if I will survive the fall from the window
