Game 42

​CHI 101               BOS 111

This music
Came like an invitation--

Hand-written
To each of us.

Please come
Home.

Sincerely,
A Tribe Called Quest.

And everything about it
Felt so warm
And welcoming
And right.

Like the gurgling of the coffee pot
Or the running of the Rainbow
Over Sunday morning sleep.

The familiar greeting
Called from the door
After a very long day.

But actual home
Is complicated--

More complicated
Than feelings of home.

Much messier
Than the scrapbook--

Corrupted by humanity.
