Harlem To Paris
Those living in Harlem
want to live in Midtown
The people in Midtown
the Upper West Side
The Upper West Side on
the Long Island Shore
The Long Island Shore
in Aspen or Vail
Aspen or Vail
to the beaches in Cannes
The bathers in Cannes
to the Champs Elysees
People always search for where
life can begin
A place that remains distant
and far out of reach
Any excuse to look outward
and not in themselves
Theirs souls left in turmoil
—their hearts not at rest
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
