home
ive given you my heart
now please take me home
ive wandered and ive strayed
ie found dwellings houses and shelters
but ive yet to find home
my heart is with you
now please take me home
ive move and ive stayed
ive found shacks apartments and studios
but my heart is with you
and youve been here
now please take me home
ive enjoyed my time away
ive found friends enemies God and even myself
but part of me was missing
because with you is where im meant to be
iowa philly or third world
weve exchanged hearts
now lets go home

haiku
home’s where the heart is
I have given you my heart
Now please take me home
bc i went to uva take 1 and 2
they ask me why i walk this way
well because i went to uva
why i see rainbows in the snow
and runners in the rain
why correcting your speech is second nature
and mocking your turkey still hurts though we may have lost the game
why? ha ha my friend
thats because i went to uva
its my school
my rules
my orange and blue
whether decked in orange fever or in sundays best shoes
i may not be off on rugby but im proud to be a wahoo
and no matter how hard you front I can see in your eyes you wish you were one too
you may win the battle but the war is already ours
you’ll see in 10 years as your washing our cars
they ask me why my nose is in the air
or how i can see the stock market crash and continue without a care (Jesus)
i laugh and in response i say
My good fellow its because i went to uva

My good fellow its cause i went to uva
