Tell me,
would you like
to be tied down…
So that you’re completely helpless?
Would you like
to be unable to prevent
anything from happening to you…
with no escape?
Would you like
to be able to struggle
with all your strength…
futilely?
Would you like
to be able to beg and plead,
to no avail?
Would you like
to be powerless,
without responsibility,
protected,
safe…
without choice?
Tell me,
would you like
to be able to do anything,
say anything,
feel anything,
anything at all…
without consequence?
A moment out of time…
A vacation,
pilgrimage,
practice,
discipline,
devotion,
experience…
For…
how long?
An hour…
day…
week…
month?
As short a time,
or as long a time,
as you’d like.
To choose
to have the experience
of having no choice.
