here/there

on the border

it says here/there

can you get there from

here of course can you

get there from here with

a little effort movement

is possible or stillness

if it is not here maybe

it is there what used to

be here is not here anymore

what was there is here

and what was here is there

but what was here

is not here anymore

so i will have to go there

to see if the things that

were here are there

but one thing is certain

what was here is not

here anymore
