Stuck Here

The flock migrates, yet stays together
A herd of high gates, no strays untethered

There's outlets for power
But not for escape
Togetherness towers
Buildings I traipse

My group is inside
I'm all together one
Accepting these foibles
A project not done

There's some that lag 'hind
Outside of the stream
Others make rackets
Boiling over with steam

All chaos a burden
Or perhaps the beauty
I'm here all along
By choice or by duty
