In Place
Flight cancelled,
turn around and go back home
with your full-to-the-brim luggage
you thought you were
taking somewhere.
Don't drive home:
run home instead,
run for
Chevron next exit and
population: 99,
the place you wanted to leave.
You know yourself too well,
you don't find trouble, but
trouble finds you.
