“'The Answer to the Great Question... of Life, the and Everything... is... forty-two. I checked it very thoroughly,' said the computer, 'and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is.'” - Douglas Adams

And maybe there’s something magical

About sketchy girls and lipstick boys,

Testosterone boys and harlequin girls,

And everyone else in between

Finding love and community and

Home

Through music. 

But maybe that’s it, maybe the music

Is a home 

In itself. 

Maybe that’s my place, maybe

I need to make myself a home

In the words that flow off your tongue, maybe- 

Maybe I already have one.
