ARE YOU FREE

when the air about you

is as fresh as a

newly dropped cow patty?

That gulp of air did

cost you when your other sense

was assailed by the aroma

of the best fertilizer

upon this planet earth.

Good and less good in all things?

Are you free when you

follow  a slightly used
path

in the woods and aside from

deer ticks the only other

real danger is a pack of wolves

eager to satiate their appetite

since you might be supper?

Freedom is a precious word

and when you follow the rules

of the land it can be very possible

for opportunity to be free, truly.
