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
