Why is a flower fragrant
But not the wandering vagrant
Why is first place good and last so bad
Why does what we never had
Seem so far away
Yet we tell ourselves to stay
In the woods....in the dooryard...run around and google
In the 'hoods....in the foreyard....we have it in our noodle
Knock back into innocuity
Tranq your way to tranquility
If I were a twinkling star
I would tell you you're too far
Yet ever so close..if you only knew
How your reasoning goes askew
Connect the dots in a way not known
Collect your thoughts anew...homegrown
The images in our rear view mirror may appear so far
But they are so much closer than we think they are
