| Prague 1 It rained and I got stuck in a bar one that played 80's music staring at the blankest faces the discolored artwork on the walls "I swear I left her by the river..." This is not the sad life "...I swear I left her safe and sound." But I wish I was somewhere else. And walking home or what passes for home - I wobble getting my sea legs, imagining life on a river boat. A mis-step leaves me wet feet. I planned to be moving forward or not to trace my steps over the same waves. I may be moving up and down instead of back and forth. Street lights, stop lights Standing shoulder to shoulder with hesitants I shift left to right roll my ankle and right to left again before the mass of people moves Across the street finally I realize that the bridge lies ahead and I have gone the wrong Direction. I have asked myself before What am I looking for? But now I remember there are three more stop lights and a left turn If I turn around. |
