wild world

i feel adventure in my bones

trying to crush me from the inside out

turn me to dust,

for what an adventure that would be

i could bathe in spring water

somewhere hidden deep in Fiji

maybe i would skateboard

on cobblestone sidewalks

in Spain or Italy

i’d like to run away to New York City

or to San Francisco

and wander the streets at night

with a new pack of cigarettes

and nowhere to be

some day i might like to go

to the white house

and Lincoln Memorial

or just a failing silver diner

it doesn’t matter

i just want to go somewhere

there is no explanation

i just want to go anywhere
