Over there

 

 

It’s over there

 I skip joyfully

  Not here

No it’s over there

 Cool guy walking

  Not here

No, no over there

 Walking purposefully

  Not here

I meant over there

 Running at panic speed

  Not here

Just kidding, it’s over there

 Losing footing; clawing on all fours

  Not here

Where is there?

 There is here!!!

Wow!

a simple depth here that I fear is apt to be fundamentally underappreciated. breath-takingly beautiful. Thanx, Chuck

Here is over there

I am skipping and singing. Singing and skipping I skip. Sing and Skip Skip and sing Where did you say. Oh! Over there!
