In The Middle

Sideways
Move 
Slowly 
Move 
even if you 
Move 
just a little
How else do you
Move,
in the middle? 

Stuck 
in the 
Middle.
Shut Gates
Steel Rods 
An endless
Liberal 
Riddle. 

It's too small 
the space 
in the middle 
got to turn
take a side
Or, close your eyes
The only way 
left to hide. 

NO! 

Move
Move
Move 
Through the
Middle. 
It squashes and
Suffocates
More than 
Shut Gates. 
It rusts into
Frauds
More than 
Iron Rods.
This Middle. 
Middle. 
Middle. 

How can you move your body? 
To fit which bill?
When your soul 
withers 
In the Middle!?
