Freebird

by Nicole Assenza

I want to be so great,
I want them to say—
“I wish I were [me]”

I want to be free

I’ll be gliding over corn fields
Everyone will be pointing to their shingles
“Here, Here!”, they’re calling
But no, I won’t—
I was too afraid to fly now I’m
Phobic of the land

I want to live free

If I crash
I crash into the sea
I’ll boil all the fish eggs
A Pelican stew
For no one but me

I want to die free

Author's Note: So long, and thanks for all the fish.
