More and More Freedom

by Nachoem M. Wijnberg

If you can decide whether or not to do something there must be something that allows you to see a difference.
That is not possible if you are alone at the beginning.

A decision is the same as moving or staying in the same place,
But seen from two different points.

I didn’t come up with these clear arguments,
They were a gift from someone who remained calm and polite.

I would like to put the second to the test, and have come up with a clever plan to do so:
Slightly moving one of the two points.

There are so many points, but you and I only know a few, maybe only those two.
I would give all my clothes to be alone with you one more time.

You only make one exception to not thinking that something is true because you want it to be:
Being more free when you want to hold tight to someone who can’t hold tight to anything, Ghalib knows what that’s like.
