you'll want to be one day turning off into your own lane
a thought came to me one day not into the neighbor's driveway
for some borrowed tea
you need your own teapot cherry red
a song to sing underneath your breath
while waiting for the vent to kick on once again
a familiar tree that knows you
in all seasons
even if all of this is in your head
and you live in a box or on the bus all day, round trip
you know, if you think of it first
it will still be your own lane
and you will love it.
