Movement VIII - Pilgrimage

Home to school we walked, from down hill to up, to home from the hospital, we drove in the deep snow, from home to the seaside, by car, from the beach running in to the sea.

By foot to half way up Ben Nevis, from the Cheddar gorge, on a bike to Lands End, from home to a theatre, by train, in London, by foot, and tube, Victoria to Waterloo, by bus, by night bus to Bethnal Green from home to Portballintrae, by coastal road, from Ayr to Edinburgh by motor car.

In a police car to Westminster, from the square by protest marching, from the park to Glebe Road, in a shopping trolley, to Homerton, by ambulance, from Kingsware to Paignton, by steam train to Swindon in my dying car, then back home, in a taxi, from here by limousine straight to Heathrow.

Berlin to Athens, by bus from home, by train to Amsterdam by cab and coach and ferry from, from Germany to Calais by my thumb, to hospital, from France by train.

From Las Vegas, by car, to L. A. from San Francisco, by plane, to New York by greyhound, from Toronto, to Banff, from Alberta, by highway from Ontario, by kayak to Quebec, to Calgary, from home and back to Vegas by, route sixty-six, to Frisco then, on to Seattle, by hitchhiking.

From one island, to another island, by seaplane from Saint Lucia, to Barbados, in a flying machine, from Jamaica, to a new home.

Saint Petersburg to Moscow by sleeper, from Kathmandu to Chitwan on a bus roof to Hong Kong, from Beijing by bullet to Kowloon by star ferry, then from Hiroshima to the island, by boat to La Paz, from thee village by ambulance, to Cape Town from Jo’berg by tarmac?, from home to home by Sri Lanka.

Four hundred and twenty two miles, by foot, from one city, by pilgrimage, through the valley of death, to a better city, and back to you, by any means that's possible, then straight back on to the open road.
