THAT FARAWAY LOOK GAVE YOU A WAY
TO LET ME KNOW YOU'RE NOT HERE TODAY
BUT YOU'RE SOMEPLACE ELSE FAR FARAWAY
WHAT CAUSES OUR MINDS TO DRIFT AWAY
GOING WHO KNOWS WHERE ON OTHER PLANES
OR SOME ALTERNATE REALITY
THAT SEEMS SOMEHOW TO BE MORE PLEASING
AND SO DISTRACTION SETS IN AGAIN
AND WE FOLLOW IMAGINATION
AS IF WE HAVE NO PLACE ELSE TO GO
Author's Notes/Comments:
THAT FARAWAY LOOK I MENTIONED IN A PREVIOUS POEM STUCK IN MY HEAD...SO MUCH CAN BE SAID ABOUT THEM...AND SO I WROTE ANOTHER POEM INCLUDING THAT FARAWAY LOOK...BUT IT IS FUNNY WHEN I READ IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES I WAS DEBATING ON THE TITLE...SO MANY COULD HAVE BEEN USED...SOME CHOICES WERE DISTRACTION OR DISTRACTION SETS IN OR DISTRACTION SETS IN AGAIN OR WE FOLLOW IMAGINATION OR NO PLACE ELSE TO GO...ANY OF THEM INTERCHANGEABLY WOULD HAVE WORKED BUT I STUCK WITH THAT FARAWAY LOOK BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD WHEN I WROTE IT...I DECIDED FOR ALL THE LINES TO HAVE NINE SYLLABLES NOT SURE WHY JUST DID...ONLY ONE LINE ORIGINALLY HAD EIGHT SYLLABLES SO I JUST ADDED A YOU'RE TO IT...HA HA...ORIGINALLY BUT SOMEPLACE ELSE FAR FAR AWAY GOT THE YOU'RE ADDED TO IT...
