Author’s note: Inspired by the absurd news story of a drunk raccoon.
Gramsci warned us in his Prison Notebooks:
“The old world is dying,
and the new world struggles to be born;
now is the time of monsters.”
I want to be free like a bird;
Free to stretch my wings and fly,
To come and go as I please,
With nothing holding me back—
But always with a warm nest nearby.
After all, even the free spirit needs its rest,
No matter how far the heart may stray.
