Free rigidity
Why is it everything I want to do
is a 'commitment'? It's freedom you seek,
you say: blank spaces in the coming weeks.
It's not like I'm proposing a tattoo;
surely we can accept a barbecue.
It's not too long a drive to Pheasant Creek.
Distance? It may as well be Mozambique.
Openings, parties, movies, toodle-oo!
Retirement from work should open doors,
Invitations confirmed, no longer spurned.
Open-ended readiness is strange hell.
Whither spontaneity? always your
riposte, which only serves to make me squirm.
Can double lines once crossed re-parallel?
