Plunging Into Kansas

 

“But if we plunged into Kansas,”
I said,
“It would probably become interesting.
It’s only dull from the air.
It can’t be all cornfields.”
(It’s possible I was thinking of Iowa.)
 
She looked at me
As if I were speaking a strange language,
Or making a joke
She didn’t understand,
 
And I knew, in that moment ,
She would never try Kansas,
And I would never see her again.
