Marco Polo

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. - Thoreau

marco

polo

from whence do you come

to where do you go

oh please let us know

so that we may follow

pour us water from the trevi fountain so that we may drink and swallow

better to feel than think

why did you have to write with disappearing ink

before i even had a chance to blink

never concerned with the possibility to fail

you hoisted anchor and set sail

marco

polo

thank you for pocket money

thank you for dressing funny

thank you for chopsticks

thank you for all the kicks

thank you for posting my bail

thank you for my notice, "you've got mail"

thank you for filling my plate with spaghetti

i shower you with confetti

marco

polo

teach me all that you know

show me which way to go

rid me of this woe
