Sometimes you just need to get out

take a look around and free yourself.

I've been looking for the answer --

The brave and optimistic answer

"The only person who can empower you is you."

Well, I know that. I've always known that--

But to act on it--

to truly believe

and to throw off the yellow Sunday covers and

do something -- now

that

takes

courage.

Backed up against immovable red tape.

But where to go? What to do?

I was always told not to run with scissors-- and a nice pair of orange-handled Singer Scissors could really do the trick,

slice through the stickiness of deaf, mute puppets holding the strings

and casting me over the wall

to dance as they please..
