Rhino

I will be contained. Some hard nut, everything folded,
an organ puzzle that no one can understand.
A knife, a hammer, a machete, nothing will open me now.
The princess and the pea but I am the the hard thing that keeps me awake.
No witch or prince gave me this, I did because I could not forget them.
Not their fault, mine because I am who I am.
A dear friend said rhino ears are diseased apricots.
No they are fringed and delicate, a design of the delightful.
If I could I would seep on their ridged backs,
clutch their horns. We will tell each other stories.
I will not be opened again and their hard hides promise me this.
how not to be open. Also after various things, I am back to my challenge to write a poem a day under an hour despite my fahter's health and insurance mess

I like this a lot. I've always liked rhinos, too. They seem so tough.
