In the trunk of the car
We played
That was enough
My world knew no bounds
My experience contained it
Years later
One ocean away
Two worlds apart
New York City, Dorset sea
Meet in my head, my heart
I now know a big world
With age
From living
I have two homes
Life makes both tangible
Innocence was easy
Experience is not always
Though I’d never trade it
And when I look in the night sky I remember
It’s a small world after all
