By Michael Aaron Gallagher
The motion of your metal frame
is paralyzing,
Your ice is rigid and confined.
The space of your intellect
is mesmerizing,
Your wisdom stands the test of time.
The freedom of your body’s soul
is limitless,
Your air is hotly presidential.
The myth in your belief
is timidness,
Your thoughts are residential.
