A poem about the importance
of a strong sense of place
You know the role
Played by Richard Dreyfuss
In Close Encounters
His complete obsession
With Devil’s Tower
Well how come
I’m not quite sure
But that’s exactly the way it's
Always been for me
In and around
These few square blocks
It’s the place
Where I most belong
And how can I explain it best
Except by saying it’s been such a long time
Personal and business address as to
Become one and the same
A single location that pervades
My entire sense of well-being
Or like water
That’s circling the drain
I’m intent to continue holding on
Just a little bit longer
Thinking perhaps the path of
Least resistance is remain right here
And try to make myself
An even more integral part of the
Midtown South Precinct scene
