And Then

My mind thinks in rhymes
likes lyrics
weaves words

Sorts soot from silver

Free-dom
Free-dom
Sings
Ring bell ring
But, eerily

Free-dom
Free-dom
From things

Some things cannot be recycled.

Joe Brainard.
slim volume of vast insight
initiative is another name for it
remembering
Gibran said there is freedom in forgetting
but to remember...



Remember life without children
life before McDonalds, Television, cars, cell phones, email
life in toddler clothes
life at your first kiss
life on 9/11
life on your wedding day or commitment ceremony
life during the worst fight you've had
life when work is just too much
life when you slept in

I Remember...
