To define you

To define you 

Is to quantify you 

Put you in a box

Feed you in a chicken coop 

Limit you and 

Change you. 

To define you 

Means to mark you end 

Stand on a dead-end 

Reach for the fence 

Whine behind the prison cell. 

To define you 

Is to delude in metaphor 

Befriend most similes 

Sometimes listen to sound poetry 

Dream without the irony 

Fantasize along personification and onomatopeia 

And live further in hyperbolé.

To define you 

Is to picture you 

In a free verse;

Unfreeze

Without Tempo

Rushing and gushing 

No ellipsis 

And counted syllables 

Free

Just free

Is to define you.

That’s you.  

 

YOU.
