Where am I?

Where am I?

In thousands of conversations

In “Sures” and “I can’t; I’m so sorrys!”

In light blues and minty greens

 

Where am I?

In laughs both of salt and tinkling bells

In keeping time and woefully losing rhythm

In my head and in the air

 

Where am I?

In another girl at school who was called names

In words that were aerosolized at home

In the ozone layer hole that resulted

 

Where am I?

In language used carefully, but sometimes not

In fine china and the bulls that destroy it

In purple-orange skies and whirling ceiling fans

 

Where am I?

In the dam and the rushing water

Yes, that marvel of engineering

Is where I am

 

BUT

 

Not WHO I am
