As You Were

any how should be as free as be
without some conditional mood
what is not what it is all about
where from barely relevant and
who remains surely a mystery

when now knocks but no one is
there not even a cat or a mouse
a game afoot no chance of fame
a bluebird flaps by like a blouse
in a backyard clothesline breeze

this is for those who comprehend
without understanding they read
to the end do not think themes
building blocks or memes at all
they are as they should be free
