Rules pertaining to a Boxcar Metaphor




Citizens of the multiverse
may not ride a boxcar metaphor
to Venus, fly a Harley
to enlightenment
or escape respective compartments
but Venus, akin to freedom
is a valid concept

like sentient geraniums
or naked poets
dancing to internal rhyme
outside their cubicles
at midnight

beyond the shackles
of academy

it starts off a bit like a metaphorical stop sign it's a clever little devil. when or if you break it down, it uses designated (by the poet) unusable metaphors in order to make a metaphorical point.

every thing works in the piece and i enjoyed it a lot.

thanks for the read.
