After Ode to the Boom Box


Returning to a quiet place,

Where I store myself, 

and let myself remain.

A home is often unseen

as a refuge from chaos.
A safe haven of comfort and heaven.

You say

“I wish I could go home,”

Overlooking its humble charm.

I say

“I wish I could go home,”

Wanting to embrace its serenity.

There is no school alarm or angry manager

To disturb me in my moment.

I met back with my dog.

Now it can just be us two,

Resting in peace.
