On a frame the cloth is woven,
Shaped to a product it cannot control.
On a frame the skins are tanned,
Streached naked for use.
On a frame the drum skin is pulled
So its cries are heard when struck.
I, too, was streached on a frame,
In a time beyond my control.
Streached until my joints ached--
Spread for use by makers of pain.
My cries were heard when I was struck.
And when taken down from the frame
I found that things streached on frames
Don't find their first worn shapes.
What once fit in my life before
Lies misshapen on the floor.

An interesting metaphor here

the stretched skin of the drum, the open submission... once limits are stretched there is no return. Nicely done.
