The Eternal Wanderer or Home

From Nowhere... From Everywhere... Dirty dreadlocks Scraped moccasins Torn backpack Scuffed map poking out (why do they need a map? they'll never get to where they're going) A shower is beckoning to them, like a siren to a filthy sailor, tempting, yet out of reach Phone in hand, but who are they texting, everyone back at home has already forgotten about them or given up A look of eternal loss across their expression "Life's an adventure," they think but it's not what they feel They just want to go Home
