when i was 19
there were places that i wanted to see
when i was 20
cornell university
and kefalonia
didn't mean anything to me
i read the classics
but i didn't read thoroughly
when i go to ithaca
when i come back
from america
you'll be with me
you found freedom
in a chamber of the library
you pull the roots up
with the old etymology
in kefalonia
and the blue ionian sea
the way i know ya
is like an old old olive tree
to south africa
