I feel like that I’m pulling off a fairly slick trick. It is mind-blowing, that I have legally escaped from my cubicle, society’s and my self-imposed confinements to fly off into a life-changing adventure …
Fresh Winds
Snap!
Into the breeze
brilliant white sheets
yearn to sail on
into unsoiled dreams.
Tethered by wooden pins
and swaying poles, the clothesline
stretches—
dips and swings
against blue sky.
Escape—escape
echoes their bright call
unwilling to be bounded again
tucked into a four-corner square.
