The dance
of the notes
they move like
weight without
gravity
so free
from the
basic laws
like outlaws really
occasionally they are
hauled away
taken to a place
where they are abused
and told how to behave
constrained
rehabilitated
until they become
like everyone else
and then we accept them
and enjoy their company
and we smile
but in doing so
we
take
away
their
freedom
and ours
because we don't
let them speak
truthfully
and so
we don't learn
from them
and the basic
laws are applied
choking them
killing them
and blinding our
understanding
of how truly
free
they can
be
