Constrained Poem by Joan Fontanilla Balmania

Constrained



I want to be there
But I don't know where that is
I want to be that
But I don't know who that is
I want to do this
But I don't know what this is

Soar like an eagle
When all you are is a fly
Run like an ostritch
When all you have is a thigh
Laugh like a child
When all you can do is cry

Can I be a hundred person
in a single body
Can I have hundred thoughts
in a single mind
Life, oh life is so gloomy
