Days passed,...

This is the town to beat the rest,

From every view would dominate,
Where Pilgrims...

Children play within their laughter
Now recedes in cries of torture
Screeching whistles scrap metal clusters
In murderous heat of summers day

Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances

in sacred space and times
forbidding mechanized transport

Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily...

You'll just stop in
to sip dry gin?
I only have a beer.
To name the greats:
Pope, Dryden, mates?
The whole world knows their names.
