Idle dreamers

I'm always still awake
when the Aussies log on
and the Indians and the Kiwis
and the expats in China
and I don't know if that's
unhealthy

or if
they're not actually perched in such
exotic places
and they're just
desktop wanderers
like me
without a map
to take them
far away
to live with the beautiful
and the interesting
and the living

perhaps
they're right
next door
on the other side
of these comically thin walls
head in hand
daydreamyfaced
waiting for a map
or a knock

perhaps
I should have listed myself
as an Aussie
too
