Fred Aiken Writing

chained to the idea of freedom,
even when it doesn’t make any sense,
even while spending thousands of dollars at amazon
and google and apple and barnes and noble and kroger and publix
and aldi’s and walmart and verizon and at&t and comcast and 3m,
to name a few,
and i certainly hope they love me as much as i love them
with my dinero that got lost when i didn’t realize
there was a hole in my pocket
