Not really a poem, but its been awhile since I've written any
This is it.
Tommorrow I leave for the home of my alter ego, yuppy man.
A place where I'm a so called responsible person.
Where I am a homeowner.
Where I drive a Volvo.
Where I've got the audiophile home theater and stereo setup.
Where you can be a regular and no one will know your name.
Where I'm registered to vote.
Where I take Tai Chi to release work stress.
A place of winter fog, cold damp and misty rain.
A place where a jacket is required.
A place that slippers are called flip-flops.
A place that calls the zipper lane an HOV lane.
A place where I don't have to pay sales tax.
A place that has an awesome symphony which I've got season tickets for.
My home.
Am I that person or am I both? I've always enjoyed a paradox; hopefully both.

Nice poem. Is it a poem? I think so.
I give it a year.
Someday, you'll be a full time Hawaiian resident.
I went through the same thing. "Oregon is my home," I said. Now, I feel very comfortable in California. And, actually, I think of both places as home. So now, I've resolved to think of myself as a West Coast resident.
You belong to the Islands. I can feel it.
