poem: Here

By Jack Brummet

When I'm not here
I'm often there
e.g., anywhere
that's not here

I'm there,
but not all there
I have to be
a little here

to be there
and a little there
to be here
being here

or being there
is not being everywhere
when you go anywhere
you leave a little bit behind

shedding pieces
here there and everywhere
if you're not here
and you're not there

you are somewhere
neither here nor there
and somewhere
could be anywhere

but can't be
everywhere
I saw a bear
where? over there.
