Inescapably
Inescapably
I am trying to see
The lizard crawling under the curtain
To take by surprise
The fly meditating on the window glass
Yet I cannot see more than
The imperceptible slow movement
Of soft flesh over wall
Because my eyes are focussed there
But my mind inescapably
Drifts, and drifts on tide abroad
Through tangled streets
With clicking feet
And pervssive noon oppressive heat
And blind in each face
Without a picture formulate you
I brailled each profile
With sightless fingers of thoughts
Who would you be looking like
Except inescapably you
Who am I looking for
Trying to find you who I never met
Looking at the lizard
But cannot forget
Love is emotional hazard
The stupid fly left the lizard glaring
And the spider weaving
Just weaving the dumb net by faith
Caught it inescapably
I seen too much not to be cautious
And now look at me
It means I must never tell you
Inescapably how I feel
