Um. No.

I almost built a big no. I might still do it.

I'm all about finding common ground and getting to "yes," but everywhere I turn I see the eloquence of a well-placed "no".

My "healthy woman" email came with the caption, "No's the way to go!"

Yeah.

No.

An Uneasy Lesson

I am free
I forget that often so
I tell myself that
I am free

I cannot make it so
It is so
I am free
It is so

Free
Inside a crack
Deep in a crevice

Free
In a hole
With no way out

Free
In a cell
With bars and guards

Free
Tied up and blind

I tell myself
To teach myself
The ways of the world.
