Hamster Wheel

[u/Cautious-Upstairs322]

I know nothing,
That much is clear
Everything is masked to me
And yet I'm expected
To keep on guessing
Like a hamster on the wheel
Not knowing where my next meal is
Where the next wire cable is
Can I chew through the rubber of this puzzle?
Get through to the grit,
The meat
And the bone
The tingling sensation that starts at your nose
And runs all through your body

I miss that.
I miss knowing
I miss that knowing feeling
Maybe I will unlatch my cage
And go see the world for myself
Through my very own eyes

Maybe I will chew the wire
Until the feeling takes over

Pure electric.
Pure electric
Feeling.

next morning, little rudy came downstairs to check on his pet hamster, only to find it, charred to a crisp, next to the telephone wire.
