Where I Live
by Kathryn Morski
Where I live autumn is a blaze of color
Where I live summer's not too long
Where I live life just stops for hunting season
People smile without a reason
Where I live
Where I live drivers don't know where their horns are
Where I live we've all met the mayor
Where I live tourists fish for trout and coho
Snowplows throw that silver rainbow
Where I live
We have way more trees than people
We drive for miles and see no other
We all talk about our neighbors
We know who our neighbors are
Where I live we breathe the air and drink the water
Where I live kids ride the bus to school
Where I live northern lights hang shimmering
And rivers come alive in spring
Where I live
If you decide you'd like to live here
We don't want you complaining of the cold
It's not legal 'till you've lived here for twenty-five years
Or until you're sixty-seven years old
(Whichever's longer)
Where I live hokey's why you order cable
Where I live we have ONE coffee house
Where I live sandy beaches stretch for miles
By sparkling lakes with wooded isles
Where I live
