I Can’t (poem 015)

I Can’t by Mr. S

“I CAN’T DO IT!”

and you know what?
you’re right…

until you stop saying, “CAN’T”
you’re stuck
in cold concrete

take that “CAN’T”
and take off the “apostrophe”
now take off the “T”

turn it sideways
and you will see
that you’re finally left with
a “CAN” and a key

open the door now
to every
infinite and wonderful
possibility
