You are free to accept
free to say no
and this
is not a small prison.
You are free for your hands to lock
together for hours
for your eyes to leave and never return
dazed! remain dazed:
and we shall use the grand title:
_Schizophreniac.
You are free for the books to gather
around the pole that they have attached
you to
and for one of them to start the fire.
You are free to not return
to any story, city or street
