Out
a found poem from a Google search ‘define out’
no longer detained in prison
in the middle of nowhere
no longer involved in a competition
not at home or one’s place of work
away from the goal the finishing line the designated playing area
to sea
to be made public
to be made available
aloud
in existence
(of a stain or mark) removed
(of a flower) in bloom
no longer burning
to be finished
