TRAINING WHEELS


I’m not a follower
though I glean
I’m not angry
yet I check my spleen
I’m not a child
of the in-between
where hurdles are placed
on tracks and fields
I can sidestep the crowd
do as I please
skipping the damaged part
of my film if I choose
what have I got?
nothing to lose
but to pedal to righteous
freedom of thought
to fly without wings
is an arrogant fraud
training wheels are forever
our greatest mistake
is to loosen the bolts
on what looks like fate
training wheels are forever
adjust the size
rebuild with the lessons
then rise, then rise
