Exploration

Where are the secrets:

The secrets for me?

Where I’ve never been

There do they be.

It doesn’t much matter

If someone’s been there before,

If I’ve never seen them

They’re wonders galore.

I’d much prefer danger

And treasure; intrigue!

But I’ll settle for furniture

Desks and latrines.

Cause the world’s out of magic

It’s retired, it’s done.

What’s left: occupied spaces

Owned property: it’s succumbed.

I’ve never been much

For putting my life on the line,

Or getting arrested,

Or accruing a fine.

So I’ll settle I guess

For new places to me,

Guess to make my own magic

I must learn to see.
