We are imprisoned by the things that free us;
I remember the freedom of my first car,
and the ensuing enslavement to transportation.

I remember the freedom of my first love,
and the enslavement of emotional attachment.

we are freed by the things that enslave us;
I remember the freedom of my first paycheck,
the enslavement of the job that gave it to me.

We are freed by the things that free us.

Death.
