More then anyone has ever seen,
Aaron wanted to stay clean.
Sometimes he washed his hands throughout the day--
To find them dirty, was a complete dismay.
Erasing the chalk all over the place,
Returned constant smudges to his complicated face.
Places were many and the soap was wearing thin--
Inches seemed like miles and he felt he could not win.
Ever seeking freedom, he hoped for an overdue release.
Compulsion kept him in, but…
Ending his chalk-soap drawing, birthed a masterpiece!
