floating while tied

when faced with
the inevitable decision
between being
something
and being
nothing,
be nothing.

the bird is
the bird.
it flies
with the wind.

the train and
the tracks
work together.

the living is
lived
while we are
alive.

without
the water
the boat
is an unsteady option.

if you are
something
you are fixed,
pinned,
bound.

if you are
nothing
you are free.

the living happens
while we are
alive.

the bird
does not worry
about
what it is,
it just spreads
its wings and
greets the wind.

a small screw, partially rusted and mostly left unscrewed, rises from a rusty piece of metal, as seen through a metal grate.
