freethinkers

paula cole, i'll tell ya where the heck all the cowboys have gone. but first, tell me where all the freethinkers have gone?

we're such boxed up folk. and the farther we run from it, we just run into another box labeled hipsters. this past week, i was at the corner of jefferson and mcclintock with about a dozen and a half kids. college kids. the light was green going my way and there was no protected left, but the crosswalk said stop. not a car in sight. i crossed. i looked over my shoulder to see if anyone would follow suit. they stared back in disbelief. freshmen.

did we all go to college to become conformists?
