Helplessness

Helplessness is a dog 
that has an itchy skin. 
Helplessness is a hen.
It has wings but can't fly. 

Helplessness is a reptile. 
All the burrows are closed. 
Where should it slither?
Inside your bones? 

What if helplessness is
a child who demands you to 
put an elephant in his bottle? 

Helplessness is a cigarette 
in your hand too. 
Except you don't have the
Match to lit it up.

You put it in your mouth 
and pretend to tackle your 
compulsion-
The question is how soon 
You are gonna break?
