i could be in kansas

I could be in Kansas
by morning, but do I want to go
there.

not really.

or eating figs in Spain, or Portugal,
I could be skiing
in the swiss alps,

or scuba diving off the barrier
reef,

or even be on a camel in
Egypt. but I say no to all
that.

I think i'll just take a ride
up the street
and get the paper

and a cup of coffee. sit down
by the lake.

if it's warm enough i'll even
take my
shoes off.
