Kelly Deschler Poet Pantoum

Ten Thousand Places

With ten thousand places to go
And it won't cost me a dime, 
Just to walk a block or so ...
Takes a few minutes of my time

And it won't cost me a dime 
To borrow one library book,
Takes a few minutes of my time
To browse around and look ...

To borrow one library book
Is to open up a great door,
To browse around and look ...
At a place never known before

Is to open up a great door
A thing that I dare to do ...
At a place never known before
Then, o, to walk on through

A thing that I dare to do ...
And need to, o, so badly,
Then, o, to walk on through 
And disappear ever madly

And need to, o, so badly
Just to walk a block or so ...
And disappear ever madly 
With ten thousand places to go.
