Zapped

Separatedfrom the burgeoning tribe,

Trappedinside this vast enclosure,

Flittingand zipping one station to next,

Seekingthe freedom of larger domains.

 

Notunderstanding the wonder of windowpanes,

Trappedby a barrier one cannot see,

Bangingagainst it again and again,

Wonderingwhy my prison remains.

 

Seekingcontentment, not knowing exactly

Whatthat may entail, but knowing enough.

Knowingno purpose except the annoyance of

Creaturesgiganticus swatting in vain.

 

Whocan endure such pervasive perversion?

Mindlessexistence can be such toil

Untilall of the sudden, without any warning,

Zappedto oblivion

Sparingno pain.
