Perspective

I have a slight problem with reality

People keep telling me what it is

Who gave them the right

to frame the world 
like a picture

drawing everyone into

a two dimensional nightmare -

a fantasy of realism

framed in guilt

How happy they must be

inside their golden borders

but

I do not like my cage

so I say 'no!'

The world is bigger,

higher, deeper, brighter,

more unfathomable

and dangerous

than you think.

And yes, there are monsters,

dark,

beneath the clear blue waters,

bright,

beneath the clouds.

So do not scoff

and press me like a flower

against your flat earth,
or the pages of unwanted books

for although I cannot see it all,

I see you hanged 

dead 
against the wall.

Ok, it's international women's day - just a bit late - mostly because I don't stand for such things, preferring classier options, like for instance, international talk like a pirate day ;)
