Home is where the heart is

halfway to a new land

quarter of the way to safety

one eigth of the way to freedom

one 16th of the way to a new homeĀ 

one 32nd of the way to my old home

one 64th of the way to hell

one 128th of the way to danger

one 256th of the way to where I'm from

Can this train go any faster?
