This Chain (Written: October 21, 1999)

This chain anchors me
to the ground
this heavy thing attached
to one end
is what keeps me here
I'm free to move about
but I'm not about to leave
pull and tug
egnore
where is the master that will
cut this chain free?
If he has any compassion
he will allow me to
go free
while I'm still anchored to the ground
