7019. I WILL ALWAYS BE THE ONE

I WILL ALWAYS BE THE ONE

Until I am wheelchair bound, I guess, I will

always be the one to come and go at my own choosing,

to wander those 'chartered' streets at will, spin a coin

of my own fine minting, watch the cloudings seeding.

Never much a one for chains and locks, I wouldn't much

care who else comes and goes, just to be sure there's room,

lots of places for those elbows  -  stretch and hit and roam.

I can be lost in my finding, I can be straight in my curves;

here today, then gone tomorrow, as those sayings go.

Otherwise, you see, I'm fairly useless and hate the maw

of mankind's ways : employment sucks, and paychecks

have that scratch and sniff aroma I can't stand. People
who value money throwing it off to those who value 
it more? Trade time for money, what a joke, over 
all this land. I will always be the one with an 
aptitude for getting lost, for setting out, and  - 
 just as much, perhaps  -  not returning back.
