Someplace Else Poem by Valerie Moye

There is a TV on somewhere in the house
A fan blowing on my face
A dog barking next door
And I am someplace else

I am in the Bahamas sipping margaritas
and smiling at young waiters
or maybe I'm in the mountains sitting in a jacuzzi
shivering in the cold and laughing at the snow

I'm in a library
reading about life on Easter Island
or maybe I'm in California
with one of my two soulmates

Where ever I am
I am not here
I am not alone
I am someplace else
