free

a word i love
with its open syllable falling off the cliff
screaming its name
not like freedom
closed in the shed with its
blind patriotism and the words
"I fought for your" in front of it
free is something you are
not something you have
it is preceded by "If you love something, set it"
free to be you and me (oh how I had a crush on Marlo Thomas!)
free stuff
free clinics
freeloaders
free speech
free falling
free will

FREE LOVE! Too bad we were just babies in the sixties.
