ANYWHERE
(Goodbye Chile)
As my mind wanders
To my next destination
(Chicago via Panama City y Mexico City)
Rethinking, rechecking my brain—
Wondering in awe if I’ve had a seizure
Or stroke at the young age of 29
Because I’m sitting here
At the airport
Exhausted
And I haven’t even started
The long journey ahead
It was a long journey here…
To decide
To throw in the towel
To realize
What’s best for me—
Is apparently listening to Joe Schmoe
Sitting next to me
Hum his little tune
Sipping my coffee,
Watching the world pass by
As I wait for my turn
To get on my plane
And go anywhere
Anywhere being home
Home meaning a future—
That’s not “Anywhere But Here”
But a future that is
Where you are supposed to be.
That’s why I am here.
At the Santiago airport
With my feet propped up
Melting into the hard plastic chair
Lost in a sea of salty thought
Stinging, yet relaxing
Staring
At the world
(Cause it’s so big)
As it passes by
Going anywhere.
