Free Is the World

That is what I tell Joyce: She's got a world's free choice To fasten words of praise On a thing without base Or take a snake's poise Raising a critic's voice... Over rubbish rejoice Like she'd done as free Joyce Because she had the choice To make an impure noise Yet, it shall count later One failed a life better: Spoke no healing letter... Caged self with fetter.
