what is this business of running away

What is this business of running away?

What is this business of running away from?
And why? Those in whose blood the runaway
Passion is ingrained, those seasoned sinners
in whom the rumour of others running away
is settled as a sediment in a river bed,
or a poisonous gas far beneath the well
in which we die of asphyxiation:
can we think of at the moment,
running away to the far off English countryside
to breathe into the forest aviation,
to wish to have a sickle to cut the
stem of the tree overflowing with sweet
water to quench our thirst,
or to sit by the lake to view these
birds with coloured beaks to
peck at peaches and plums,
to run away to a nearby cave
in which an antique idol
sits as if in a penance, shall we
run back to our homes to have a
Shower to run away to the tubes,
to run to the realms of classics,
to bask into the fields of poetry
and modern fiction.Yes!we are
far away from this mundane world.
