Where Is There?

By Bruce Levine

Where is there?
I read that and it made me think –
Where is here?
But then –
Where is there?
Or where was there?
Or where was here?
Then I started to think
of other permutations
and other variations on the theme …
Of course there’s –
Where was I?
Or where am I?
I imagine that,
if I put my mind to it,
I could continue coming up
with derivatives for quite some time …
Then again –
Where would it get me?
Where would I be?
Am I here?
Am I there?
Where is there?

Bruce Levine writes, he says, “to answer questions presented by my soul.”
