freedom to walk around freedom
to sit still freedom to think about the weather the president
the price of books and music freedom
to say nothing at all freedom
to remember some old fairytales freedom
to bury yourself in a pile of leaves laundry old magazines freedom to waste it use it wear it out freedom to frighten the neighbors just a little
bit freedom to rearrange the furniture freedom to leave it alone freedom
to let the garden go to hell freedom
to make a great big mess of it freedom
to own your own damn self freedom
to forget what you were fighting about freedom
to buy a lot of useless crap freedom
to drive over there to see your pal and have a beer freedom to read that book watch that movie
stare into the fading sun freedom
to burn freedom to carry a grudge long enough freedom to rub a few fancy phrases together
freedom to listen here and there freedom to ask a question or two freedom to be patient generous courageous
and true freedom to sing way off key freedom
to memorize all kinds of good and bad poetry freedom
to dance alone or with others freedom
to try something peculiar freedom
to sleep all morning and rise to shake a grubby face at the insolent
sun freedom to become something you never wanted
to be freedom to glide along the raggedy-ass surface
of a thousand contradictions freedom
to run away freedom to laugh freedom
to kill something freedom to wonder where all this food comes
from freedom to lose a friend or two freedom to be smart enough happy enough lovely
and lonely enough freedom to regret everything freedom to fix some broken things freedom to believe whatever damn foolishness
comes along freedom to get as wise as you can
never enough way too much never
enough way too much never enough way too much never enough way
too much never enough way too much never enough way too much
never enough way too much never enough way too much never enough.....
you know. that kind of day.
