freedom

what is freedom?
is that what you ask?
such a big question,
such a large task.

its not the car,
although they sell you it as such.
but i'll take my freedom sans traffic,
thank you very much.

how about the plane?
it can bring you oh so far.
but why can't freedom happen
where you already are?

perhaps there is no answer,
but since you've asked me.
i would say the bicycle,
because it makes me happy.
