When did migration start? Crossing boundaries a discovering heart In a beat, a wayward blinking In ephemeral shifts of thinking? Or back and forth, pacing the floor In and out through a revolving door? Down the road to buy daily bread Living, breathing atoms of the dead?

With holy days becoming holidays The next trip or fling or visit to amaze? We continue pushing through borders invented An expanding consuming species demented
