CHRONICLES OF AN ESCAPE ARTIST

        (New York to Alaska ’74)

 

 

being birthed there

lends a certain flare

for obvious reasons

New York is no longer

goodbyes even

though still I write

my sole replies

are market prices

 

and now to write:

I’ve snared rabbit

and spruce hen

chopped cords of wood

built half a house

(excuse me not hen

but grouse)

and now it is winter

the quiet season

till the spring of plans

so I await your answer

but please

no market prices
