#611 - the magic of travel

the magic of travel

 

imagine it!

museums of everywhere

creatures and zoo

nose in a phone

just where you are

galleries, tombs, temples

all the stuff of selfies

streets ancient as trundle along

 

it’s one machine after another

 

high seas heavens above

by carpet, deckchair, cloud

a little of waft, mainly hurtle

and this was all back in the day

 

been there done that

and yes there are some continents missing

now everywhere else is so yesterday

 

now, in lounge depths

hear the self droning

a plague of reminiscence

though nobody gets any older now

this is immortality’s price

 

in coming years

we’ll invent the wheel

there’s this bloke in Florence

who’s been drawing up wings

but that’s quite enough for now

 

jasmine high

wild days

pond lingerings

 

see the swim of the creatures

feel the lift of the wings

be leafblown oneself

into a next season

and here we are

 

do you still hear the music after it’s finished?

 

dig in the garden

with anything scratch

 

in this place at which I am inexpert

even the shadows play

shall we follow them

to catch?

 

now

learning to love

to live

the magic of just where we are
