Analogy of High School

Never Ask Why

White walls and empty hallways
don’t spash color
don’t stand out
never ask why

Busy streets
filled with mindless paper
puppets, afraid to speak
too loud, to move too
abrubtly, to breathe too
freely
Never Ask Why

obey and succeed
conform and you’ll grow as the
daisy in the linen closet
with a shaded lamp
for sunlight-
you’ll grow into the
muted, dwafed
weed you were planted
to be
NEVER ASK WHY

In the end nothing,
nothing was real.
The laughter stimulated, the smiles
Stitched onto nothingness…

Paper words with paper memories
And never-
Obey, surrender, give-in
Ask-
Conform, comply , live blind
Why
