I Come from a Long Ways Off
I cannot restore the lakes that teemed with fish,nor the maples cultivated by the Mohawk,
the Adirondacks now more remote than my boyhood,
a lost dark conversation with jejune oblivion.
Events became the storyline of my life,
and events were always stronger than resolve.
My journey took me inward without time schedule,
dredged up expediencies as layovers.
Still, I felt drawn to the people,
who bejeweled my dreams in neuron flashes,
became therapy, billboards along the escape route.
Turned out that vital knowledge would suffice.
