Caged Birds

You. Me. And every caged bird,

Sing our hearts out from the

Grand floors of our ribcage

To the ears and eyes in the world.

Free within our cage, dreaming of

The rest of the world, how to

Fit the world into our world, how to

Own the keys and locks withal,

Or how to become keys ourselves

Unlocking dreams and hearts

With the graceful turn of our wrists.

Out one cage. Into another cage.

That is the extent of our freedom.
