I would give anything for adventure if you would give everything for love.

Sundays to Run Away

Small under the buildings which are small under the sky
Sunshine through leaves and birds in the wind
Faint outlines of flowers patterning my arms
where Meg drew sleeves I couldn't wash off.

Watching Corgies, cyclists,
coffee-drinkers and queers
Reading of fairy horse tails and bars in Seoul
A summer up north in perpetual day
He planted tattooed arms and dreams of Shanghai
With intelligent eyes, a depth of the world
Smooth jazz saxophones and Mexican food.

I get lost in the dream one more time
One more Sunday to run away from the world.
