T(here)

A poem for anyone who feels they haven't got there.

T(HERE)

I must be there

but, where?

where is there?

it must be somewhere

it can’t be here

why be stuck in the here

when I could be there

away from this hereness

finally in the goodness

the goodness of not here

because we all know

or nobody knows

that the goodness wouldn’t be here

it’s lingering only there

in the farness of there

but God knows

if I finally get there

there will just turn into here

as here was just a there

before I got here

so maybe the goodness

hasn’t left?

because it never got there

it was just always here

lingering
