I've spoken about choices before,
About how
The decisions we make are more
Or less
Than we give them credit for.
I find myself poised to respond
to a rhetorical question i once posed
That I find had limited scope.
Do you want gold, or silver bars on your cage?
I would never have guessed
That fortress walls and barbed wire fences
Were even an option.
I was unaware that moats could be added,
Crocodiles, branches of wait-a-while tangles,
A fire! Why not? And those monkeys with wings.
The whole Sleeping Beauty sharp bramble thorn things.
I feel like this wasn't really choice,
That through the cacophony of survival
My low, stammering voice
Got lost. And arrivals
Of heavier burdens to hoist
An unwelcome surprise.
