There are people in the world
Who are going to try to
Take your wildness
Or break you of it, as though it
Were a bad habit-
As if such things were possible.
Let me suggest, instead, that you
Kick up your fine heels and
Jump that fence
(Which was never really
Tall enough to contain you,
Anyhow) - and we’ll meet up
In that place on the other side
Where wild hearts are welcome and the
Grass really does grow greener.
