Poetry in Public: Places of Landing

Poems will replace advertising on public transit, enlivening commutes across King County.

Poetry in Public celebrates local voices by featuring poems written by King County residents in shared spaces. This year’s theme, Places of Landing, embraces the poetry of our daily lives. It honors the movements, places, and feelings that tell the stories of our days. Everyone can be a poet!

Tomorrow Is Another Country

my flight leaves at four
bags are packed
medicine + id card in hand
when i get there and check into the
future i must not forget that i am new
here
and remember to lock the door/s of the past
[but keep the keys in case of emergency]
the people and the places will be
familiar in a new way
tomorrow is my home
