Kansas and Profound

I’m saying this with a straight face.

When I was entombed in Kansas as a kid

I was always looking around for something profound

anything

And when I looked across that long state 

from the second floor window of tv and tv dinners

I knew that there was an infinity over the state line of

something 

And while that profound thing occurred to me 

in Kansas 

and that was profound too,

considering 

I didn’t see any reason to stick around there

with that knowledge.

This lesson can be applied anywhere, anytime

so be ready to run.
