Turns out—you were
perfect-
ly
right!
to feel
a little
gloom—still seeping
through each
tiny crack
of your smiling
teeth again
back there;
it seems—
we can
never
really,
really
be—
actually
and one-
hundred-
percent
totally
free!—because
Science says
we will
probably
always need—that nebulous ebony
black thing—
called
space—
within which
to be it.
