I took a train to nowhere
A sign said:
“you are now here”
I’ve been going nowhere
for quite some time
which is impressive
because it somehow
feels like progress
now here
arrival
is a misunderstanding
Maps refuse
to know where
they mark now here
as “you’re here now”
But what I seek
is in nowhere
not hidden
not lost
I tried to know where I was
but to know
required a where
and where
kept dissolving
into now
I keep going
with confidence
now here
I am in nowhere
There’s a place
between now
and where
where things almost happen
I think I’ve been living there
and if you ask me
where I am
I’ll say
“now? here”
again
If you insist
you must know where
you’ll miss
that you are now here
which is precisely how nowhere works
