Cutting Loose 
Sometimes from sorrow, for no reason, 
you sing. For no reason, you accept 
the way of being lost, cutting loose 
from all else and electing a world 
where you go where you want to. 
Arbitrary, a sound comes, a reminder 
that a steady center is holding 
all else. If you listen, that sound 
will tell you where it is and you 
can slide your way past trouble. 
Certain twisted monsters 
always bar the path -- but that's when 
you get going best, glad to be lost, 
learning how real it is 
here on earth, again and again.
