Blueprints

to find the way out
is not so hard, the
blueprints having been kept
handy by the previous
owner, the markings on
the wood, beneath the
plaster, easily spotted
by your x-ray eyes--

and what will you do,
when free? what
indeed......his list, marked
out in curious characters, is
a mystery even to him,
the long riddle of his life
a scarf placed this way
and that, to ward off
the cold from around
the corner
