The fact is,
Herr Doktur,
one
eventually learns...
that freedom’s a function
of inattention.

An appreciation,
finally,
that no one
is actually listening,
or, therefore, authentically cares,

absolving you
to do as you will
short of murder
or anything stupid

like walking naked...

across the field
while a game is being played

upsetting the chance to score.

"to do as you will

kinda narrowed things down a bit haven't you?

wouldn't that make "anything stupid" a function of inattention as well??
