Some Other Time and Place

In all likelihood, you don’t know me.

And it’s quite possible I’ve never met

you. After all, millions of us spend a

lifetime in passing one another each day.

So many faces, names and places never

known, never remembered. It could be you're

writing this instead of me today, or perhaps

someone else all together who thought about

or told of it near or far on yet another day.

And so it goes each and every day never

making the news, never becoming note-

worthy or monumentally engraved. Perhaps

You have traveled to or visited San Francisco

or Boston, spent time in Frankfort or Rome.

There is a vacant farmhouse in rural Iowa,

an old train station in Kirkwood, Missouri

built around 1900, an enchanting castle in

Neuschwanstien, Germany. Could be we

crossed paths one day on a hiking trail in

the Great Smokey Mountains of North

Carolina. By the way, there’s a great place

for barbecue in Kansas City...Bryant’s, yes

Bryant’s, that’s it. I had the burnt ends…

What was that on your plate​? Ever been

to Boulder Colorado?
