So it came down to this
Green in mind
Like that moment
A pill dissolves
So that I felt alive
Without permission
As free men do
As free children do—
A cob webbed forest
All about me
Outside three deer nosed a snow bank
A lonely neighbor carried a book
He might have been my grandfather
A minister with his bible
Walking the lanes
In the age of rickets
He too might be alive without permission
I am not a sad man
No one needs free will
O green in mind
Without mercy…
