Breaking free
which is free
and for the poor
like me
that's just as well.

The entrance fee
on any given day
to any given hell
is variable
although
one must pay
and
pay you will.

In going to speakers corner
I was greatly disappointed
to find it was not a corner
at all

on the plus side
it was near to an arch
Marble Arch
which
I never passed under
only looked at in wonder
that
such antiques exist.

I missed my stop on the way back
and so
stopped off at 'Chicken Shack'
and ate four nicely spiced wings
another disappointment
I still can't fly
next time I'll try
the breast,
ps
the legs worked the best for me
( that's a joke I hope)


Okay
I'm nearly somewhere
almost got there
wish those wings had worked.

Breaking free
unblocking me
seeing in stereo
the things that I see
and I see an awful lot.
