Boise!

Lawn sprinklers pop out at midnight
In this arid desert steppe terrain.
Quiet neighborhoods (except the fireworks).
This is not where I grew up
Nothing like it at all
Except, well, it has humans here, too...

America is a big place,
You never know where it might lead,
And all of it home.

My God, how did I get here?
