Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

I was, I am
and that
never changed
but I did

I leapt and I spun
but the new shoes
never quite fit
Bare feet are best

A floppy hat
and garden gloves
teach me more
than my recent travels
and books of foreign text

Beer is better than
martinis
no fruit, thank you
A tattered map
leads me home

The ocean is
my compass to peace
No voice
changes
That
