You left me for a state of mind, 
But many things you could not find. 
You traveled the world 
As it turned and unfurled. 
From the planes that you boarded, 
Souvenirs that were quite sordid. 
On the sidewalks you sat, 
Thousands of people to look at. 
Strange places to lay your head, 
The streets where you were misled.

Guilt momentarily at bay. 
Pockets stuffed with dollars and cents, 
Weighed on you—heavy and tense. 
Cups of coffee you drank too fast, 
These words you'd write at long last.
