I've never really felt at home in L.A. I've only been here to work, and then I immediately go back to New York.

I didn't want to stay until I had used up all the enjoyment because that's too long to stay anywhere.
A hotel isn't like a home, but it's better than being a house guest.
Or a way to stay on strangers couches, that just sounds terrible all around.

The world's an Inn; and I her guest.
We are here for what amounts to a few/hours,/a day at most./We feel around making sense of the terrain,/our own new limbs,/Bumping up against a herd of bodies/until one becomes home./Moments sweep past. The grass bends/then learns again to stand.
