789. bird on a wire



meditating
 at the top of his lungs
bird on a wire
*
bird on a wire
just doing his thing
freer than free




Driving along I look up, and immediately stop as my mind flashes to “Bird On The Wire.”  This is Leonard Cohen’s song, where he writes about the human spirit’s inherent struggle to be free and the ways the we  fail. But in the end it’s alright, because it’s the effort that counts.
