How we (poets) escape

I don’t believe there’s
a unique way a poet escapes.
are they not humans?

first, who’s a poet?
just another man, woman, friend,
enemy – mortal.

maybe there’s a way,
I promise I don’t know because
I’m not a poet.

but I know, that humans
will always be free no matter
what they choose to bear.
