Where's the Adventure?, by Sue Perlgut




Where’s the adventure?

Where’s the trek on a wild windblown seacoast in Scotland?

Where’s the zip line through the jungle in Guatemala?

Where’s the ski lift in the German Alps?

Where’s the raft rushing down the angry white waters of Colorado?

Where’s the three day hike on the Appalachian?

Where’s the swim in the dead sea?

Where’s the ride on a camel in the Moroccan dessert?

Where’s the moonlight cruise on a sloop in Penobscot Bay?

Where’s the heart?

Where is the city girl who climbed five flights every day?

Where is the bar hopper?

Where is the bus ride to Provincetown, on her own?

Where’s the woman lover?

Where’s the bookstore owner?

Wheres the protester, the actor?

Where’s the skinny dipping in the cool waters of the Delaware River?

Where’s the cat lover?

Where’s the size 10?

Where’s the size 12? (I’ll stop there.)

Where’s the voice of my mother?

Where’s the comfort of my father?

Where’s my past?

Where is the perfect ending?
