PLACES
A large map graced the wall
with tiny, tiny red headed pins,
placed here, there, everywhere.
It got me to stop and to look:
Caracas, Venezuela; Durban,
South Africa; Ballynahown,
County Galway, Ireland.
Then I spotted a red pin on the floor.
Where had it been I couldn’t find
an empty hole anywhere on the map.
Oh well, you never know at times
where another person has been
- as well as the why and the whatever.
Then it hit me - why not pin down all the
places I’ve been - and see if I remember
the why, the what and the who of each place.
