Stevieslaw: You Can’t Go Home Again ?

Posted on March 18, 2017 by stevieslaw

My Argument with Thomas Wolfe
Perhaps you can.
But hurry. Before dusk
grays your vision as your hair.
Before the asphalt buckles
with the weight of tomorrow.

Grab a Greyhound, man.
See America again.
Even if it’s from
the worn and tired
seats at the back of the bus,
stale with the smell
of a million miles.

Just don’t be surprised
when no one greets you.
The years treat memories that way.
You’ll need to root around a bit
to find the ones that still say home.
