hum

it took some
years
since i have run
away

how i loathed
the buzzing
rat race
night spent full of
tears
as just the tiny
speck
amongst
buildings scraping the
sky

return now i do
a craving quite strong
to be someplace
everything is
no one is not
no more
indignation from their
ignorance

rather
tranquility in the rhythmic hum
where each body moves in place
whether or not
they belong

took so long
to stray so far
to see how simple to live
but now i see simple
is able to transpose
from mountains to
masses of steel
