Flipping the Poles
FLIPPING THE POLES
Once undisturbed satisfied and content
With the acceptance of doing it right
There is the merest spark deep inside
That wants to set the pleasant aflame
To burn and slice that humdrum life
Reaching out toward greater freedom
And fresh cold air one always deserved
Yet out alone in those Arctic wastes
There is the faintest pull back to warmth
To slip back into the normality groove
Nodding and smiling at everything
Feeling the embrace of compliance
Yet no resentment at the furry shackles
But that little spark may flare again
