Let's Break Free From Circles

Let’s Break Free From Circles

Circles of people crowded at tables

I picked up my chair and spun

outside of the wooden suns

I picked up my chair and spun

into the empty

Spaces between seats, spaces

Between you and me

Celebrating the color clear

They reached

in their pockets and purses,

Raised cell phones like crosses

‘We’re calling the doctor’ they shouted

‘You need medication, you’re different’

I said no you see I’m just spinning,

And the order you obey is play-dough

With enough hands you can re-shape it

Enough hands and you can sculpt wings
