WILL YOU DRAW A LINE IN THE WORD HAPPINESS

Will you a draw a line
in the word happiness
and point and tell me
that my place is "over there"?

Or will you tell me that
"This is the world,"
with all its pinks and golds and blues and greens
and that I can roam free in it
and make what I want of it
and take me where ever my wings will carry me.
