    This poem made me wish there was a way to live 100 different lives and see a thousand different things through the eye of another person. I don't know, the fact that I live in such a secluded, small area, where its winter for most of the year makes me wanna be anywhere in the world but here most of the time. I like the fact that this poem mentions all stretches of life and people and puts into perspective all the different layers there are to the world.
