The workers who check our stats
Thrice a day,
Seven days a week
Are quite careless,
Apparently.

The man
Who glanced at me through the glass
Breathed heavily inside his suit
And failed to see me
Unlock the door to my prison
And grab hold of his ID
As he turned away.

I hid the ID card
Under my hospital gown
Until the other caretakers were gone
And the lights went out.

Then,
I made my move.

I stepped forth
Out of my box
That many others would soon meet their death in
When I left,
And felt my bare feet
Make contact with the
Cold,
White-tiled floor.

I slunk forward
Down the hall
And approached the lab.

Biting my lip,
I swiped the stolen ID
And watched as the
Door
Hissed
Open.

At last,
My access to you
Was restored.
