Time Zones
Marianne Bennett
Incomplete assimilation
Or too far to tell apart
Have you ever gone so long along an axis
You wind up at the start?
A purpose for a purpose
Though I do not know the way
Am I meant to see some signs of inspiration
Among the amber waves of grain?
I'm stranded in a world
That's not my own
And when I close my eyes where does my mind go?
Is it in another time zone?
I wanna hop aboard a spaceship
And fly away
(And fly away)
But what if I can find nothing better
In the great expanse of space
(In the great expanse of space)
I wanna go on
Look beyond what I already know
Have I waited too long in this body
has it
Become my own
Is this my home?
