Strange
that we should choose this habitat
with all the other habitats
not difficult to get to.
People do it.
They move their roots.
Evansville, Indiana
seems so colorless and flat,
no crashing waves
or mountain ranges
to break up the monotony.
No breeze and clack
of subway trains. No buzz.
No narrow, winding streets.
No ancient ruins to create
perspective.
Just a river bend
and a corn field frame,
and the reality that this is where
our families live.
Not a place to pick
if you were going to pick,
a place where its been easy
to see it all, and everything
is easily predicted.
A harbor, to be sure,
with many lotuses to eat.
