Roar
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

     In life,
     The bedroom can be a battlefeild.
     The ultimate struggle for power,
     Territory
     And control
     scraping my head against the matress,
     Is like marking a line in the sand
     Animal Planet tells me
     That this is something rhinos do sometimes.
     So like all creatures,
     We have our times of heat
     Or passion.
     When it's like that
     There is no cage that can hold us.
     Nor is there a force that can hold us down.

     Roar.
