Practical

Thinkin' I had to 
Go someplace 
To get 
Something 

Somewhere else 

Now I begin 
To see 
That the place 
To go 
Is here -
To sit down 
Here -
And go 
Within -
This the fascinating , wonderful
Place -
Natives in costumes 
Not 
(Except for those of us
Who live here)
Cut off jeans, Hawaiian shirts 
And 
Flip flops 

Fascinating native 
Ambiance 
See how they live 
Some homeless 
Some 
Not 

Some surfing 
Some walking 

Verizon says 
I have used 75% of my 
Data plan 

Poetry loses to 
Practicality. . .
