We Looked All Over
We searched under the stairs, behind
The sofa. Barry went into all of the stores
That we were previously in to look, to no
Avail. Most of the stores we went in
Had no idea what we were talking about.
We went and asked one of the security guards
Who was guarding the entrance to the tour bus.
There was nothing there that would even indicate
That a house had ever been there before.
Scotland, Wales, England and Eastern Europe,
Everywhere in fact. Around the lake,
Even down in Union County. (The flower
Can be found all over the island.)
We needed to find a spot
Where we could get a 360 degree turn
Of the camera, and see no other sign
Of civilization. We thought it was strange
But we also took a drive down to Jesus House
To see if she was there.
It’s very hard to find a space in New York
That doesn’t have columns.
What shocked me was that ‘losing money’
Was more important than being honest.
Finally we had to go to Canada to get her.
She was carsick all the way back.
