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. . .
