I don't have to travel to China
To encounter philosophy
Foreign to my own,
I can talk 80's music with my  teenage son.

I don't have to travel to remote areas of the globe
To sample some exotic unrecognizable food,
I can burn things beyond recognition
Right here, in my own kitchen.

And I don't have to travel the land or sea
To make one convert, or to divert my attention away from you.
I can know you inside out
From right here,
For I can dream.
