Sometimes

You yearn for unfamiliarity,
the stranger in reading maps and squinting at street signs,
or the dishes you eat off of in a diner,
the sheets you just have to trust
in a hotel.

You want some one to give you an insincere, free with purchase "have a nice day"
to be somewhere where kids point at your license plate, how'd you get all the way here?

You're a long way from home.
