"I've never been there
But I know the way
I'm going to go
back there some day" --
Gonzo, The Muppet Movie
--
the myth of the orphan
often a boy king
a great woman shaman
a savior of their people
I'd rather just be happy
stop feeling like I was miscast
in a play about someone else's life
a misfit? THAT doesn't even fit
a stranger? even stranger
make no mistake
we are all orphans
from another place
another plane, another world
the real loss
when we are so embroiled
fixated on attaining something here
we don't even care about something
that remotely sounds like peace
windchimes ringing in the breeze
from the front porch
of a home we never knew
