Destination: Anywhere but Here

Oh love,

 

we're drowning in the monotony of motionless.

 

forget food, air, coitus

 

Maslow forgot something- movement.

 

 

 

not even, relocation.

 

simple movement.

 

 

Oh love,

 

let's pack a bag- buy a map

 

I feel like falling asleep to east coast sunsets tonight

 

waking up to Rocky's

 

 

 

wind through hair

 

sand between toes

 

 

let's fly a kite

 

ride a bike

 

 

 

*let's move *

 

 

seated, we die a thousand times

 

 

let's break in a pair of new shoes

 

to an afternoon hike

 

pack a picnic basket of pb&j;'s

 

 

move, darling, move

 

 

until our legs give out

 

and slumber wraps us sweetly in her arms...

 

in one another's arms...

 

 

somewhere far from where we began

 

 

 

move.

 

 

 

conclusions and origins are separate for a reason

 

 

life may have symmetry, love

 

but let's make sure not to mistake that with stagnation.
