Some


I have slowed
to a crawl
like I was
when a baby
before others cheered
and chanted up
up he’s walking
and that then
ignited everything else
including my wanderlust
my obsessive desire
to see to
go to find
until that is
when I did
with heavy pockets
I wandered back
losing most of
what I’d gained
and now once
again somewhere new
and somewhat better
and somehow old
