No one saw Houdini fly
til he escaped straightjacket cocoon;

[the rest of us had to wait
for the prison doors to open
our own flight
suppressed all these years.]

Would anyone see or care?

It was so hard to breathe
in that tank filled with lonely
where escape is frowned upon
even from one's own cocoon.

Their Mantra?

"Do Not Let Them Emerge Beautiful."

TOO Late !!!
It's my turn to fly.
