Cocoons Should Have Zippers

Cocoons should have zippers 
and escape claws 
against a change of mind, 
cold feet of indecision.

Claustrophobia pushes, 
agoraphobia pushes back. 
Like television, 
teleportation is unsafe 
when the remote’s in other hands.

Birth of any kind’s not easy 
on the body or the mind. 
Reluctance fells 
the wishy washy kind.

Should escape seem far too risky 
just remember 
death’s a one way ticket 
so be sure you really know 
what is better, what is best 
and leave the rest behind.
