Poem: The Prisoner Takes His Time

The Prisoner Takes His Time

I have never cut the ropes that bind me.
I unravel them
one thread at a time,
a terribly slow endeavor,
but just as thorough,
giving me time to consider
what to do
when I am free.

About this poem

Like I said a couple of days ago, sometimes I am slow. I’ve come to grips with that.

Tom
