When you think about it, mostly, a cage is air - Sandra Simonds

[Larry Robinson]

When you think about it, mostly, a cage is air -

When you think about it, mostly, a cage is air - 
so what is there
to be afraid of?
A cage of air. Baudelaire said
Poe thought America was one giant cage.
To the poet, a nation is one big cage?
And isn’t the nation mostly filled with air?
Try to put a cage around your dream.
The cage escapes the dream.
I see it streak and stream.
