Never Have I Ever

Have you ever been

inside a cage

with closed doors

on the walls and

also the floors?

---

Have you ever stood

behind a table

with hungry men

staring at you

from each end?

---

Have you ever laughed

at a love so parallel

yet so alive

and perpendicular

you’re grateful for hell?

---

Have you ever thought

just a bit too hard

to run from love

and still

love so hard?

---

Have you ever?

---

Never have I Ever
