use to be my town

aboard a paratransit bus

just left my doctor

expected to go right home

we had to pick up a another rider

on the way

took in scenery

saw some of my old neighborhood

nostalgic but good

bustling

northwest

museum

parks

and old brick houses still standing

I was actually part of this

community

i lived in another city

for over two decades

although now changed

it is still the same

nature abounding

beauty in a city

now a sixteen miles away

in another town

memories

come back

they flood me

feel I want to return

maybe emotions are overtaking me

making me sorry I had to leave

but life occurs

you live to learn

but this I yearn

disabled

yet somewhat able

the city

on this side

is thriving

and now in reality

it is just a memory

pleasantries

communities

where I really want to be

oh why can't it be

I want to have an address here

this place I hold so dear

the images do not disappear

I have them each time I come here

this used t0 be my town

homesick
