multifarious

the world keeps getting smaller
though distance remains great
and dauntless ones
traverse its varied realms
intrepid explorers
on multifarious quests
with windmills to tilt at
and mountains to climb
and oceans to sail
and swim
each new day
a journey for those
with the right eyes
each new interaction
a meeting of a mysterious
and mythical peoples
though those
with the wrong eyes
can only see
the commute
your ocean voyage -
a ferry ride,
the Orient Express -
just the D train,
and the markets of Marrakesh -
only a Starbucks.
