    Poem Commentary

    you be the judge

    Rubber Room

     Does this mean I get to bounce off the ceiling or something
    I'm not one to assume
    But it sounds like lots of fun
    To be in a Rubber Room

    Dr.McMathis says that it's for my own good
    and should consider stronger doses
    maybe even hypnosis
    to delve deep inside
    so they can understand why

    Hi!
    My name is such and such
    Would you like to touch
    Prod and poke
    examine and wonder

    One summer I was found beyond bounds
    when I tried to drown

    Just curious
    now mysterious
    a label placed upon my person
    Straps and injections

    I like to run the halls
    Hide from med calls
    pull my feet up in the stalls

    I'm falling!
    I'm falling!

    I'm not one to assume
    but it sounds like fun
    to be in a Rubber Room.

    BOING!

    very interesting! I need a rubber room myself,...great representation of what it must feel like to be institutionalized.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
