Homebound

We were kids surrounded by cornfields

Measuring ourselves against the stalks

Our eyes could see forever

Across fields of what-if talks

--

The sun was our clock and keeper

Hoverin over shoulders from morn to dusk

And when night crept in with streetlights

We’d always find the roads to lead

--

Cross those hills to the round about

Over th'bridge and corners round

Take the third turn, no doubt because

My heart is homebound
