Looking

I am looking for the ocean
on a cloudy desert day,
looking for the prairie
in the red canyon walls,
looking for the horizon
between my neighbors' houses,
looking for summer
as snow falls on lilacs,
looking for wilderness
standing on asphalt,
looking for friends
in strangers' faces,
looking for my future
in the ticking clock.
I am looking for something
when something is here now.
