the sky looked like a lid something slipped overhead an tapped firmly into place  strange echoes  reverberations

a quieted distant dullthrobbing thunder  

it was creamy  wavy  crenelated  whipped with sliver grey white an black braids  daubed shockingblue with sharp crests brilliant white highlights

it was asif they an he were tossed into a container like captured bugs an hurriedly covered so we couldnt escape

we didnt know we could 

                   where would we go when we escaped
Go!  Find out

What if we didnt like it

Then why did you leave

I dont knowmebbe I wasnt satisfied

An you could carve satisfaction out of where you were

I  I dont know   I . .

. . You

I . .

. . You youve said   What about you

Mebbe  I didnt try hard enough                        

Mebbe   Since its you talking about you I have a hard time accepting mebbeeither you did or you didnt   you know   you would know more than I    Did you or didnt you

I havent given it any thought

Then before you escape know that you cant return

Everything you know will be behind you and everything youre to learn will be ahead of you

Its not escaping if you can go back

he turned around an around on the sidewalk beside the busy street the parkway of tall autumnal trees coloured leaves striated with naked branches making himself dizzy  he watched at the edges of the lidthe horizonwatched to see if a crack appeared a soft lazy yawn  a slender opportunity to take  to escape    to escape

                                                                                escape

hed miss bits of it 

              but the bits could never ever come together an make up the wholean entirety   they werent even enough to thrown down in fast water to allow him steppingstones across it  the bits either swept away immediately or they quivered were unsubstantial  he feared they wouldnt hold his weight keep him up   anthen those were swept away while he wrest with his indecision   then the decision was made for himan he could shrug nonchalant  accepting it   for the time being   until the next time

when youve done enough next times youre only actingyoure going through the motions

youre crying wolf

youre lying to yourself

he turned round an round  watching

there 

           there  anTHEREhe lurched  bugwings erupted out of his back an he flew dead on into a gap that opened briefly

no one paid attention if he made it or not

they werent going anywhere

they were content  trapped   an captured
