TrappedYour heart ensnared me,

but I will beat on these walls

until I break free
the hero always gets the girlThe little fellow stood before the 
assembled crowd, who had come only to

"What I have is a masterpiece," 
he exclaimed, fluttering about
like a trapped hummingbird.
"I'll believe that when I see it," said the producer.
"You lie!" The director cried.
"Oh, do get it over with, won't you?" sneered the actor.
"Don't listen to them. I'm sure 
it will be lovely," the secretary whispered, 
as the film flickered to life on the screen.
The very picture of poverty
walks calmly over the tops
of perfect gray boxcars.
He does not care about money,
only where he will sleep tonight,
