#576 - you aint goin' nowhere

 



31.vii.21

576

2.211

you aint goin’ nowhere

a hic et nunc

 

not stuck but

get to enjoy being here

                with you

 

take calls, collect

come out to the mailbox

put the lid back on

 

everything present tense

 

nutters grizzle

far city pent

it’s round and round

in a tiny head

 

we could have ordered in

but everything was already here

 

not dressed up at all

 

but birded by a branch in leaflight

 

know

this is the place

this is the time

 

all grown up

could hop in the car and pretend

 

making the best use of luck

trying the best that we can

 

and it’s true!

suddenly we have time to be young

let in some new seasons, observe!

 

home is a place just discovering us

 

has never been properly explored

 

turns out was inhabited all along

 

book left open

and vanish there

 

thinking one day I might live forever

and this is where I’d be
