Far Across the Sea

Was it so far across the sea? All I can say was that it

hadn’t seemed like miles to me. But without my binoculars,

my vision was blurred but noises I had heard – like

a foghorn in the night, led me to have a fright. But

what could I do? Vanish without a trace? Or pretend I’d

never been seen in the years that had been so lean.

Anyway, I decided to run away. I wouldn’t worry

I could always come back another day!
