Naked Statues

"The habit of expression leads to the search for something to express."
—Henry Adams

if I haven't been there I don't want to go
or not enough and even if I did I might
not care that was back when I liked to
wander around a new city feeling smart
and competent never lost except for fun

now I'd rather stay here privately happy
if less amused not be shot at or have to
look at monuments to history I deplore
although I miss the naked statues on all
the buildings nice possibility of surprise
