Where the Woods Stop


Whose tale this is I think I know,
That darkness where the daydreams grow.
All made of gingerbread and cream,
It’s not a place I want to go.

I don’t like a collective dream,
A much attenuated meme.
Out here at least the air is gray,
And people only what they seem.

They think they’re more and sometimes say
A better world with better pay
Would treat them like the folks they were
And compensate them where they play.

There’s little cake and little myrrh,
Simplicities I much prefer.
