voluntary confinement


how much do i tell/ how much do i hide

there is a hiding place next to that shelf
but i'm not saying where
come catch me:
i'm the invisible science of scrolls
invincible arm of letters

am i in trouble, sir?
oh yah.

am i going to feel pain?
you bet.

but the question is, rather,

are you scared?

and how many scars
make a map
for my wall.
