You Do Not Have To Go Far To Live

try your kitchen

living room

lounge sofa

or lie down in your hallway at 2.07pm or 11.13 one morn

and vision all the people who lived here before you

dream stars onto the ceiling

watch armies march through the corridor breakfasting on tinned meat and tea

hear tongues that sound like the dance of the sun

because you do not have to go far to live

because

this is your life here, your fantastical time right now

your odyssey is always waiting to start, right by you
