You're Not Paying Attention!

If you're asking me to move
get up and go
stretch my limbs even
I warn you
I cannot.
It's not that I will not
or that some force
makes me believe I should stay
or pure laziness-

I don't think-

but life pushes me down.
Do not ask again.
I will tell you once more

I

cannot

move.

Can you not see the bolts?
The wire fencing?
Why-
How-
could I lie
about such a crazy thing?

And how blind must you be
to not see
that I will not be moving?
