Obedience

Obedience is
a game for puppies
and grown men.
It is never knowing what
lies on the otherside,
just because
you didn't climb the wall.
Obedience.
It is the sworn enemy
of creative minds.
It is what compels men
to spend years and years
listening, searching
searching, wishing
for just a little corner space
in a vast web of society,
as if, as if he is content.
Obedience, it
befriends the meek,
never the great.
So listen to your mother!
To your television! Obey!
Obey, and you will be anything,
but extraordinary.
