Freedom in Increments

I guess I was thinking about Dylan's line, "If dogs run free, why not me, Across the swamp of time?"

Although it's a nice rhyme, the reality is that most dogs don't really run free. Except maybe in brief increments. Freedom is kind of parceled out.

That goes for us too. Freedom is kind of illusory. It's parceled out for us too. It's another chimerical state we pretend to stake our lives on.

Coyote is a lonely road. We can't just choose to be Coyote.
