third floor window

sitting watching the squirrels
tormenting the next door neighbour's cat,
read a bit more of xenephon
march into persia then march back,
dream of a day much nearer now
where i just get up and go,
wake up and get the fuck away
from this place that ain't my home.
look far and wide, search low and high,
never really stop to find,
constant knowledge, constant change
working to stretch out time.
