find home

i get the idea

of drifting from job to job,

relationship

to relationship,

apartment to apartment,

never quite

settling down.

always packing your life

away in boxes.

changing

addresses, phone numbers,

trying to remember

where you are

each morning you wake up.

i recall those days

and cringe.

i did it for much too long.

you have to settle down

at some point and

find home.

the rest of life is so much

easier once you do that.
