Three times the weight
Of a closed door
Is enough to stop passage.
Three times the height
Of a ladder against the roof
Is enough to stop the climb.
Three times the width
Of a bag of mulch
Is enough to lose the grip.
Three times the depth
Of the sea bottom
Is enough to stop the free dive.
They need not tell us we cannot
Open the door,
Climb the ladder,
Lift the bag,
Dive into the sea.
They just need to make it so difficult
We can no longer
Even try.
