Mad poem: A traveller



See, I am landlocked in this seaside city.
I pass an airport on my daily commute.
And see the jet-set and the others plying in their fancy rides
Then exchanging them for more sophisticated ones in the air.
I have pictures of ships on my desktop.
And the tv series on a sea voyage I see. It has my current crush.
He's a tv star. In England.

I hang out at home with some tea and stale bread.
And at times, even order in a lot of fancy fare.
I watch movies made halfway across the world.
And the tv series, oh yes, the tv series they make.
The characters colourful enough to fuel any reverie.
I do not miss my friends.

I am living online a lot too.

Connected via my broadband to the information labyrinth.
I paint landscapes of a full life.
My laptop is filled with pictures.
I have travelled alone quite a bit.
There was Munich and Milan, Rome,
London, Edinburgh and more.
I have souvenirs. But no tickets for any further trip.
