A thousand missteps began with a single journey

Having found Gothenburg pedantic
I had since childhood quested West
hence peered over the edge of my nest
on to horizons romantic

Clearly I inclined to manic
so sailed off to The New World
but turned no trip Magellanic
merely cruised in restless whirl

Stranger in Reality
so when I did arrive somewhere
never in finality
rarely found a tangible ‘here’

‘Far away’ may not endow
this I can sadly avow

Gothenburg = the major port & industrial city on the Swedish West coast
