Emily Dickinson - I never hear the word 'escape'

I never hear the word 'escape' <br />Without a quicker blood, <br />A sudden expectation, <br />A flying attitude. <br /> <br />I never hear of prisons broad <br />By soldiers battered down, <br />But I tug childish at my bars, -- <br />Only to fail again!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-never-hear-the-word-escape/
