FREEDOM
To say, or not to
To go up or down
To spit against the wind
To love, for example painting,
One or more people
Eat with eyes, fingers
With a silver spoon, or with your feet
To have empty or full pockets and heads
Love the plain instead of the mountain
FREEDOM in a public place
The freedom that bares the gates
Playing leap-masons ...
The freedom to say no, if, yes, no maybe, 'cellars not We'll see, we never know,
finally, pfuiii (R. Ganer)
