A Lesser Station

Tomorrow, I have hopes to write
The kernel of another tale
Or two.  Perhaps I’ll set my sight
Upon a work of smaller scale.
Instead of such grand narration,
I should try a lesser station.

But where will these ventures take place?
And how will heroes journey there?
No story occupies a space
Outside of when and why and where.
Sea to desert, mountain, nation…
World-building takes dedication.
