277 <br /> <br />What if I say I shall not wait! <br />What if I burst the fleshly Gate— <br />And pass escaped—to thee! <br /> <br />What if I file this Mortal—off— <br />See where it hurt me—That's enough— <br />And wade in Liberty! <br /> <br />They cannot take me—any more! <br />Dungeons can call—and Guns implore <br />Unmeaning—now—to me— <br /> <br />As laughter—was—an hour ago— <br />Or Laces—or a Travelling Show— <br />Or who died—yesterday!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-if-i-say-i-shall-not-wait/
