penelope

when i was a kid
i was always intrigued
by the greek journey
odysseus was the icon.

and on his journey
he met some sirens
he waxed his ears
and tied himself to the mast.

he heard the songs
he enjoyed the lure
was not caught
or destoyed.

he returned to his penelope
and i knew what i had to do
find my penelope and when i found her
i knew i had returned

i did it backwards though
i journeyed and found her.
