Wish's

We are all places, barring
That one locality
Fulfillment-ripe, in reach of.
Wish's sunned; and lazy!

The soul of disenchantment;
And the bane of us all!
Haunted, from o'er the next hill
By its lone-sounding call.

Who is the phantom, but lives
His own true self not in!
For what's forced on its esteem
In facade's see-through grin.
