Look Up

And see the 

big

red

building

spreading out in front of you

like a horizon

begging you 

to reach out

and touch it.

Home.

And you stand

from your car seat

ducking out 

of your father's car

that is too old

and you think to yourself

Home.

If you weren't 

so happy

you would cry--

And your smile

is too big

for your face

Home.
