Capable of flying
without wearing down my wings
or having any
Able to stay aground
without roots holding me
where I do not wish to be
Moving from one place
to another and the next
not in the cages
for someone's dinner plate
Able to read
and sometimes write
Even though not as much
or as good as I wish
There are things far worse
I could have been
A bird, a tree or any of the species
for which there is
an established taste,
an unsating appetite
Being human has its follies
but at least I get to see them,
overlook a few,
overcome most
if I tried
Not that, nor this
Not something
I'll end up becoming
I'm a process un-stalled
ever the being
