The Space Between Us

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS


The Space Between Us

 

The difference between Europe and America

Lies partly in the concept of space

Perception of space

Utilization of space

Realization of space

 

In Paris London and Berlin

There is little waste of space

A kitchen and a living room

May encroach upon each other

(Except for the wealthy of course)

A bedroom and a bathroom

Consume the required space

Along with a washer and dryer

The essential appliances

A room with a view is luxury

 

In New York Chicago and LA

An apartment demands a kitchen

Separate from a dining room

Separate from a living room

Separate from a bedroom

With an adjoining bath

There are windows to the world

 

Americans require space

Europeans require utility

Americans love the beauty

Of wide horizons and expansive skies

Europeans love the beauty

Of masterful art and sleek designs

 

The space between us is oft times large

And sometimes small

But it is always there
