Escape

Dreamy garden suburbs
are all they have to give.

Their children are their verses

and light the load they carry.

Easily beats their heart.

They take no eyesight with them

and have no need to shout.

Equivocation,

denigration,

copulation

are their daily part.

But any happy poet

walking down the track

attracts their world's attention

by simply never looking back.
