An-other Day

an intriguing prospect
the ‘otherness’ of a day,
difficult to locate no doubt
yet the promise is beyond contestation,
it is an-other day

ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters and rats
run on the same wheels going nowhere, but please note
NOT now-here, but nowhere,
the real ‘otherness’ is betrayed by learned repetitive behaviours,
ritual, confinement,
and inculcated slavery

yet the promise is never withdrawn,
‘otherness’ is always on offer
tho rodent brains know only what they are taught
and their confined behaviours allow

surely it is time to effect y/our escape
into the New, real Freedom of otherness
