Arrivals and Departures



Arrivals: looking forward                         
What are you going to?                            
What tips the scale                                  
till you take action?                                 

Is it a shiny, new promise,                      
gleaming in the moonlight?                      
Is it lips and hips or legal tender?            
What song do the sirens sing                    
to you?                                                    
                                                               
What pushes you                                     
to pack your bag,
open the door,                                      
and step out?                                          












Departures: looking back
What are you leaving?
What tips the scale
till you take action?

Is it one monumental event,
or another in a string  
of small indignities?
Too many grey days,
unrequited nights…
What song do the sirens sing
to you?

What pushes you
to pack your bag,
open the door,
and step out?


Here's a double dose of 55 for G-man's FF55.
