Wishes to robe
In new finery
And adorn
In rough blueness
Walk astride
To the shady tree
Board an omnibus
Crawling to town
There to walk
Some aimless stops
Lifting your face
To the smoky fumes
Find a companion
Lounging on the side
And sit somewhere
Sipping honey
Watching the road
In a dusty sun
Then at dusk. Returning
To find
Passive glance
Unquestioning in trust
Oh! the joys
Of forbidden dreams.
