saying hello

...you're a boy who is sick of saying "so long"...

the nomadism continues.

it's not intrinsically any easier this time around.

this may be your strangest place and time yet.

it might be more desert than garden.

however, wisdom laps the shores in mightier waves,

and as promised, He has taught you

to watch, fight, and pray

in volumes, degrees, densities, and masses unbeknownst to you

six, nine, twelve, twenty months ago.

your eyes are keener to see past this

light momentary affliction

than they were then.

all the leaving and arriving and planes and trains and automobiles

may have indeed given you a hearty helping of goodbyesickness,

but it has also cultivated

the dexterity

to say

"hello."

"nice to meet you."
