How much of you, what parts,
Would have to go along
To your destination
For you to have been there?
The whole organism?
Just the organism?
Think about traveling
Children, your own childhood
Travels, if you traveled—
Your whole organism,
Such as you were, went there—
What do you remember?
Enough you can assert
To yourself you were there?
If you had a live feed
Like the Dublin-New York
Portal, were you only
The side where your feet were?
If you studied for years
About the place, if you
Learned language, dialect,
If you had many friends
Or family members
Who lived there, were you there?
If you were unaware
That someone had taken
Everything you’d written
In your life and left it
To be found in that place,
Could you say you’ve been there?
