far too lazy
far too vain
this freedom drives
a mind insane
the cage was square
the cage was good
parameters
were understood
the light was clear
the shadows soft
restrictions bore
the soul aloft
God and man
were kept apart
you and I
could dream a start
I wish you never
turned that key
infected
with infinity
now horizons
just recede;
the open air
inflames my need
so many stories
to discuss--
the landscape
all ambiguous
amidst this
poverty of wealth
I collapse
upon myself
and angels fierce
eyes ablaze
guard the entrance
to my cage

I don't see how you can be self-concious performing in front of people.
Your stuff is gold!
Your work is great!
You out-rhymed Frost,
that second-rate.
Also, I'm reminded of this snippet from Alpha Centauri:
mind and flower, node and worm,
in compound small, planet yearns.
growth dream soon unlock we prison,
human beware, planet risen!
Hey, thanks!
Wow --That last stanza was, like, all of Blake in capsule form!
I'm catching the next shuttle to A.C.
