Hundred Pound Carrot

but the hundred pound carrot in the middle

of the room says:   "play along with yourself.....

...if you can figure out what freedom is....that's

the game  and the lesson and the key and the

word and the wink and nod and nudge by the

ephemeral typhoon sax that jazzes your gut to

the max, which smacks as slightly unfair......

until the real moment you feel and find yourself

standing there."
