the windows of Liberty, Maine

Which is another way of saying, What will you do when the chips are down,
or How will you make a life that beats the odds, or Where does your mind go
when the enemy recedes, or Have you ever loved a place you haven’t been,
or Who do you think you are…no, really? or, What is it that feels the most
impossible, or Why walk when you can run, or What do you call that moment
when the light changes for good, or Who is holding the stopwatch, or Where
does it say that broken isn’t beautiful, or How many times are you willing
to break, or What do you get when you cross the road without
the f***ing chicken, or Which language is the one you want to be speaking, or
What is the sound of one window opening, and another, and another?
