As well as most, but like a mouse:
Happy enough to chat and play
With birds and rabbits and such as they,
So long as men-folk keep away.”

From this distance in time,
it seems the color
of iris, rotting and turning purpler,

but it was only
the usual gray rock”

“Ever notice how these European trains always smell of eau de cologne and hard boiled eggs?”
