where we are -- Gerald Locklin

(Poem #228)where we are i envy those who live in two places: new york, say, and london; wales and spain; l.a. and paris; hawaii and switzerland. there is always the anticipation of the change, the chance that what is wrong is the result of where you are. i have  always loved both the freshness of arriving and the relief of leaving. with  two homes every move would be a homecoming. i am not even considering the weather, hot or cold, dry or wet: i am talking about hope. -- Gerald Locklin
