Funny what you find when looking for something else

About a year or so ago, Chevrolet had an advertisment for its Tahoe truck with this awesome poem read by actor James Garner (who's from Oklahoma, BTW). It was written by Patrick O'Leary, who I understand works for General Motors. I wonder if he's published any other works. Speaking as a fellow poet, I feel that he captures, in just a few lines, a feeling of tranquility, of peace, of solitude for the sake of solitude.

Well Done!



Nobody Knows It But Me

There's a place that I travel
When I want to roam,
And nobody knows it but me

The roads don't go there
And the signs stay home
And nobody knows it but me

It's far far away
And way way afar
It's over the moon and the sea

And wherever you're going
That's wherever you are
And nobody knows it but me

--Patrick O'Leary
(author at GM's advertising agency)



And that's all from where I sit.
