free long enough

Mistakes that I have made.
I guess they collect
in other people�s memories

like dingy yellow sheets of paper
from an office in the sixties.

Sometimes when I make a left
onto the last bridge between me and work,
I look over the edge
at all that empty space and think...

I could fly long enough to know I was flying.

And somewhere
in a dark room
a machine hums over
the ones and zeroes
that detail my payments
and transgressions.

I haven�t been free long enough to know I was free
