Soothsum

What worlds of worth are implied
in these words! Quit winking and
hinting, maybe you'll be heard. 

Keep wit brief! But explain 
yourself well. Catch can. When
challenged or questioned just 
run like hell. Fair plan!

Such go-bys and rules are words 
to the wise, likewise, otherwise 
and unwise, equally. Don't make it
your habit or practice at all, if 
advice is only what they
would do, 

not me. Is it you? 

Pick and choose! It's all free
over here - or go there! 
Stake worth, post bond, 
pay fine and fee!

Or aghast at the price
of admission, just fight
and (as always: /or),
flee!

Feels free. And
it sometimes is.
It is all in the dream 
and the wish, 'til you 
wake. A curious business 

it is and may be, to befall.
Where we're all free to pay,
more or less 

it was our free call. 

Whatever was not? Hey, 
that happened to me 
too, pal. 

It's a privilege, and 
sort of right,
somehow!
