I Acquiesce

I let it roam around today
and it came back to say
it rather likes to play
as if there were such destinations as ‘away’ –

instead of always and forever here.
I was befuddled. ‘Don’t be queer.
‘Did you go far or near?
‘Did you head east or south or north or west?’

It answered yes.
(What a pest!)
But now I guess
I get it, more or less.
