stone
out of my shoe
anytime i please.
i could find
a bench, or a set of steps
in the sun
and remove
the shoe and shake
free this sharp
pebble that presses
against my skin.
i could do that
at any point i choose.
but i don't, not yet,
a few more blocks
of remembering,
and then i'm done,
free of everything.

Very nice. Yes, we choose when to set ourselfs free. The process of choosing is our freedom.
