two days ago i left this town
to take on the wide-open exits
i meant to find another line
to transport my involvement
and so i crept along the freeways
until i hit the airport exit
stopped from red lights hindering
outside the port of flight to france
i overlooked what was a zoo
of airlines parked in open fields
abandoned from the growth of earth
concreted in the means of leaving
scattering the needs of fleeting
tangled in the drapes of clouds
so swell and sullen in the afternoon
of which i departed
with a short and subtle sigh
waving out my pasty hands
and handing out a hug or two
so long for some time
see you in a some day
when somehow i will feel secure
with something i have gained
but as i drift i leave my lineage
the template of my stationery
chain of organized decisions
all the writings all the rants
all the words i said and meant
all the best and lesser times
of adolescent sentiment
and now i know just why we wonder
because the truth will always bore us
and what exists is too amorphous
so we wander seeking answers
hoping one day we will satisfy
the hole thats growing in our hearts
starving for a bigger meaning
before death comes bearing greetings
