i have peed behind a building,
standing up (to avoid most certainly diseased seats),
and without TP
been on 7 or more forms of transportation for a max of 10 1/2H and min of 2 min
visited 2 countries and seen a third
inhaled more secondhand smoke than i care to know
drank more coffee, tea, and wine than i care to know
spent more money than i have
seen more beauty than could ever be described
learned more Spanish than i ever knew before
been stared at gawked at and made a spectacle of
caught a cold
and so now i am back 6 days late,
4 pounds heavier
many dollars poorer
and much much more impatient.
....
come close
i will tell you a secret
i discovered a beauty
if
i
am
the
dawn
than
you
are
the
sun
