LEEWAY

How will I enter 
When all are choristers
Pitching high in silence
Wearing smiles of faces
Their piece I listen in attention
Rhythm like the hiss of adder
Song of freedom I thought.
Pains as stanza agony as chorus,
Gay as coda.
Conductor they will but not disobey 
'ducting stanzas, chorus and coda.
Bewildered I gaze as one unconscious
Why will I enter and celibate

      It's a figurative expression punctuating a degree of complain in fear.
