I write about a youthful sense of confinement being re-purposed as a launching pad in later life. See my poem 'A POEM AS LANGUAGE ORGANISM.'

Those weekday mornings were also hard to face for THIS freedom loving But maybe the cumulative urge for release became a resource to be tapped later to celebrate freedom creatively. If one's youthful boredom can be re-purposed as a launching pad, one should count oneself blessed.

p2 new poets might not get it and be confused if I write a poetic comment on their poem, so my options are restricted.
