sad indeed, <br /> <br />there are other freedoms still <br />freedom from having no ideas, from this dryness, <br />freedom from having you <br />as a poet on forced wit and half-cooked cleverness <br />freedom from a reader <br />who has nothing to offer <br />except his own loneliness <br />his having nothing to do <br />freedom from long bored <br />to death <br />freedom from having nothing <br />to say and comment <br />freedom from this feeling of emptiness <br />this bigotry <br />this indigestion of dumb thoughts <br />freedom from impertinence, immateriality, irrelevance, <br />freedom from thinking about freedom <br />freedom from freedom itself <br />there are more <br />freedom from pain <br />is useless now <br />that you are dead.<br /><br />RIC S. BASTASA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-what-about-freedom/
