I like this. I concur with Alexandra about the enjambment in line 1, which I think is also a rough start metrically. Replacing “trapped in” with “having” would get the dimeter going better.
The ending is perfect, although not too long ago someone critiqued my use of the phrase “to eat crow” as being no longer current. Is that true? I don’t know, but thought I’d mention it.
