as much as i love the city, most fervently on a summer morning, i'm a greedy girl. i want it all! especially now do i want to sit on my porch in the boring suburbs and spend the day wandering box-store-land and chain-diner-mania and metro-park-madness with run-of-the-mill ohio folk. please?
naw, it's time for work. damn.
I am of the most greedy kind!
A life in the largest city lights, majestic and alive
And I ask for a quiet porch to sit on but after
one day
in what one may call the country and I am
Bored as a goat.
There is no way to please me except by
Consuming me.
Taking my insides and flipping them out so they see what I feel instead
Of feeling what I see.
There is no changing me. You are the same too you know.
Just haven’t found it.
The boy or the girl who runs wild and free but has no countryside to sit still in.
Or even worse, that damn suburb which you could drive around with your eyes shut but you miss when gone too long.
I’m convinced of this, you really can’t have it all at once.
