Analysis of Toasting Erich Fromm
Positive freedom,
nose in the wind
Negative freedom,
refusing within
Shaking and straining,
the spirits set free
To pour or leave empty,
at times disagree
Positive, Negative,
the labels of truth
Distilled combination
—like gin and vermouth
(Villanova University: February, 2021)
