Travel Poem by Jean Bernard Parr

Travel



what men do is
worry their time zones
as the spider weaves its web
because it must

the cat leaves a paw print
on a roman tile and flexes
her sylvestrian stealth
over the weightless sparrow

and one day we saw
a footprint on the moon
etched in disturbed grey dust

what will they make of us
that came before, or of
that armooured boot
and did we really get further
than our own front door?
