From Place To Place by Damion Hamilton

I am such a nomad

I move from bar to bar

neighborhood to neighborhood

job to job

have a hard time standing in one place

interested in the new thing

always searching, always

looking, the new place seeking

you out

I can understand being young and being like this

I am now 41, and still seeking

the dancing, the wonder, the delight

of new things, crazy seeking

getting bored with things eventually

and seeking things that just happen into

existence

new things dancing and breathing and moving

into fruition, into the dance of the moment,

song tumbling and stumbling into the front of you

going and going

and twisting and twisting, this snake of the day,

wrapping into a python

dance dance, seeking and dying

falling and stumbling into a place to be.
