that will take you to safety
if only that were true for all of us
but what would that island look like
largely an isolating folklore culture
with its startling pyramids and kids
once a week we’d row to the mainland
to get supplies and pick up the mail
quickly fading from little to none
to feel completely alone in the world
that's my idea of a summer vacation
for which I often return to the city
of my dreams to hear the new music
and walk the small parks and great plazas
where tomorrow’s poems are being planted
