swinging as if he was

not quite unhinged
but sometimes
swinging as if he was
without anything
keeping him connected
to the strange
reality he swims in
eight hours a day
the disguise
complete with a name tag
and a t-shirt but not quite
unhinged because the cage
pays the bills eight hours
a day play the game
trying not to become unhinged
but as long as he swings
with a smile it's never
to far to take a stand outside
the cage for a second
talking the self back into
that strange reality he lives
eight hours a day
until he can figure
out another way...
