The Road To Bohemia

There's no decision to become a Bohemian; You either do or you don't. You find yourself there absent marriage and career It's no choice, You either will or you won't. It requires not consciousness of which way to go, relying solely on its' own momentum; akin to a river and its' direction of flow. It's who you are at the very core; The fear of conformity, The desire to explore. There have been others before and surely, will be again: Kerouac, Henry David, and Of Mice and Men. To those brave souls I pay tribute and salute. For having taken their bite of life, this fruit.
