Westerly

When I wander, where will
I wander? Will I go east to
The river and into Queens?
Or that island adjacent and
Yet so far, so foreign and so
Very unexplored? When I go
Will I head west heeding the
Cry? Go. Go west and see an
Altogether other perspective.
Not your usual all nearby and
Familiar, like the trip you've
Made each day. Our west has
No plains or mountains but
It is an eye-opener. You are
Not here every day so you
Will see more. You will see
More clearly when you see.
The changes and the same
Are not what they were when
Last you wandered here, now.
