I have lived everywhere 
And I have learned 
some things about life 
Mainly that cities look 
alike except for the 
terrain and the backdrops 
which surround them like 
someone dropped a big
dollop of concrete and 
glass into a bowl 
that nature has created 
What makes a place 
different are the people 
living there I know 
that we behave like 
bees bobbing busily about 
going here going there 
but each time one 
alights upon me like 
I’m a prairie wildflower 
I change I gain
and I lose things 
that I take and 
give away sending a 
bit of myself with 
them to the next 
flower or even home
