freedom is a funny thing
im thinking now about the amazing coyote who somehow seemed to have migrated from Westchester along the highway, into manhattan, down the west side and into Central park...?!
there the amazing and rather adorable little guy romped around the park for days, evading the crews who came to capture him and even managed to run away after being heavily tranquilized
a super coyote you might say
but then just as they are about to release him the wild
they go to tag him and then muzzle him
and the amazing coyote dies
all are stunned

i dont know
i think when that tag and muzzle were being put on him
he thought his freedom was being taken away for good
and maybe his little heart just broke
well thats how it feels to me anyway
that guy was my furry hero
now i feel sad

freedom
never underestimate the way we all
can break
and the notion of having ours stripped
ive seen a lot of that in this country in the last few years
people in terror
of being less free
its a valid fear
because once caged
we all become
animals
