My family is from East Texas
I've been to Canada, never to Mexico
I learned to line dance in a Boston gay bar
After the space flights we moved
Small and different, large learning
The seasons were constant, a delight
I ran away to a mountainous rainforest at 25
The rain was soft and constant running to the ocean
The birds were quiet
we never felt wet
Now I live in a humid desert
The rain is loud and dramatic
The birdsong is loud and constant
We only get wet from sweat running through the neighborhood
I wait to start an adventure
To see the middle, the part I missed
Travel anywhere and everywhere
Constantly falling in love with whatever is new
