[hometext] => For my lab rat, in Psychology 305.
[bodytext] => You lumpy, yellow rat, caged from birth, trained to do tricks so that I can get an A in lab, I envy you. As I reach into the Skinner Box to pick you up, you squeak the squeak passed down through generations, the natural reaction to a python, a cat, or a lab student. I envy you because you don’t know why you cry out, you just do. You don’t care if my hand is the hand of God or if my python lips are waiting to take you in and lead you to the hereafter. I’ve spent my life seeking God, trying to grab the hand that will take me to Truth. But, knowing the price of that knowledge, if I ever get close to being picked up to be led from this world, I squeak too and try my damnedest to hold on. Later, I regret my lost opportunity to claim Truth and Knowledge and seize, for one last mortal instant what I’ve spent my life chasing. You don’t know the price you’ll pay one day, nor the taste of earthly wisdom that drives the lives of all men. You don’t know Poetry, and I envy you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
