Mandated Entrapment
And I can feel it,
The sudden mandate approaching
the routing aisle
The roadblock in the way
and they want me to speak for some reason
And not at them on a stage
but in person, intimately in classroom
To announce my views and aims
To be locked in and cornered
without escape
without a door or doors to run to
All is trapped beneath the paw
and I, the quivering mouse
who is not ready to be eaten
Whole.
