Grace Paley: “freedom has overtaken me”

freedom has overtaken me     I
had run ahead of it for years
along an interesting
but narrow road     obeyed at least
half the rules imposed by
lovers children     a house a
political position     now out
of breath probably     I’m stuck
freedom has hold of my jacket
won’t let go     I am alone
