Free As Speech
by Larry Goodell
Breathing the sky open it is free space
as air is to speech, free speech
as air is, so is speech, free to say
say and say and say forever the freedom
to say: Speech Saying is said, to say
free freeing to say, what you mean in your
speech can be disparaging
as it can also be enlightening.
and cannot be
prohibited,
but free, free as the air you breathe
the speech of your tongue
the air in your lungs
the breath of the earth
speaks freely
to you and me and everyone.
