It would be good if in this experiment of life,
I was one of the successful Rats,
one who could run for hours on that rotating wheel,
going faster,faster,faster,
until they finally smiled at my results.
If only I could be that Rat who passed 'the test,'
the one who was: 'the best,'
But...
in this experiment,
in this Lab of life,
I am just one of the many who stumble off the wheel,
destined to be disected and rejected.
If only they had asked me ,I would have said:
'All I came for was your crumbs.'
But...
they did not ask ,
and foolishly, I did not tell.
Oh,what the hell...
'cheese please?"
It is so authentic, and genuine, that I just LOVE it!
Sorry my comments are so verbose, but
I am feeling so glad I found you and your poetry.
