This is where I livedI mean, really livedHands on, outside, all aroundExploring, inquiring,this is where I lived.I still stay inside this house,But the world outside, it is no longer minePassed on to the new living,doing, hands on, outside, all arounders.For me to live outside,would just be a frivolous whim.I am grownI am not aloud to live like thatSo I watch the new explorers,inquirers, doers, outsidersForever longing for a time thatsomeone else was insidelonging to do what I am.
