Running Away
I never ran away. My sister Carol
and I would take mystery walks,
tossing a coin at street corners,
heads for left, tails right...
until we were getting tired
and tossed until we'd get home quicker.
The one time I really left, moved out,
was a free woman...as soon as possible
I went to see sons, daughters-in-law
and a good friend, Abilene, Frisco, Tulsa,
St. Louis, Springfield, Grand Rapids,
roaming about Michigan with and without
adult kids, back by way of St. Louis,
Cape Girardeau, a Mississippi casino,
Little Rock, Frisco, then to Abilene.
I'd love to repeat the trip, but I have no
need to run away. I have no need
for a geographical cure, no idea
life somewhere else would
miraculously be better. I know
wherever I am, there I am,
my issues with me. If I were to run away
it would be somewhere OA is strong,
a meeting available every day,
and I'd have reached my ideal place.
