at some point

maybe up
north, is where to be.
a small village
in new England
where no one knows
who you are, at
least for
the first few hours
or so.
or south, to the Mexican
border.
where it's warm
and you like the food
the drink,
the sun.
or west, California.
when haven't you
dreamed
of mythical California.
the ocean,
the girls.
the impossible possibilities.
or, you could
stay east
and get lost in new York.
find
a place where you
could walk and walk
all day
the city streets,
through central park.
be part
of the met, an antique
on a bench
in wonder.
