I am a big fan of the anarchist slogan, “Bigger Cages! Longer Chains!” This cheeky chant parodies the compromised solutions offered by conventional politics. The body politic seems all to willing to trade comfort for justice. If only we had more roomy cages finely appointed! This poem is dedicated to thinking outside the box, nay, living outside the box. If you ain’t living on the edge, you’re taking up too much room.
Cagey
They constructed
Boxes to live in in
Ever bigger
Never quiet enough
Ever higher
Never flying
Bin there
Done that
Just encase
As some kind
Of buck it list
Enclosing
There is little
Left
To udder
