Where I Was In The West

This was originally written in 2005. It was created during what I think of as my insomniac period.

IT HAS AWAYS
SEEMED TO ME
HERE IN THE WEST,
WEST OF THE WEST
WHERE THE WEST
BECAME THE OLD WEST
AND THE OLD WEST
WAS THE FRONTIER
AND THE FRONTIER
WAS EAST OF THE WEST
AND WEST OF THE WEST
WAS WHERE I WAS.
IT HAS ALWAYS
SEEMED TO ME
HERE IN THE WEST
WEST OF THE WEST
WHERE NEW IDEAS
EXPLODE OLD IDEAS
AND OLD IDEAS
LOOSE THEIR MINDS
AND MINDS GO EAST
AND EAST OF THE WEST
OLD TO A WEST
IS NEW TO AN EAST.
