Something Slithers Across the Dripping-Damp Walls

 

It – that vague, nebulous, amorphous “It” -

Often feels like a prison or a trap

Or a trap that seems like a prison wrapped

All around in Milton’s darkness visible

 

As walls and bars of adamantine lies

And gates all frozen to the floor and the soul

Secured with locks of one’s own careless decisions

Engraved by others into immutable laws

 

It – that vague, nebulous, amorphous “It” -

To Hell with It
