It is only stupid Budgies
leave a cage when doors
are left open, accidentally.

In Corral Ville, there are
no neck collar alarms or
barbed perimeter fences.

Designed by a race with
no word for free, because
they were, the boomerang.

Illusional liberty is a stray
dog, lost sheep, bindlestiff
or the species of migration.

Be honest, most humans are
sedentary sessile, content in
self domestication, frightened.

They're Frightened of change,
    "the only constant in life"
thus remaining in Corral Ville.
