Somewhere Sometime
From the book The Elephant Repairman
I’m going somewhere sometime,
to do something someday.
I’ll go with someone somehow
to be someplace someway.
I don’t know where, but nowhere
has nothing there to see.
And so I know that nowhere
is no place I should be.
To go with no one nowhere
is somewhat of a bummer.
So sometime I’ll go somewhere
with somebody some summer.
