Hinges

They wanted me 
to stay inside their box,

to color 
inside their lines

They wanted me 
to stay inside their box,

easily judged,
easily classified

They wanted me 
to stay inside their box,

afraid, 
if my box moved,
their box would
topple from its
comfortable perch

They wanted me 
to stay inside their box,

but their box
was narrow
and empty

They wanted me 
to stay inside their box,

but there were
hinges on the lid
