Intentions

              

This Friday night,

In the city of my birth

(Which I intended to desert, on going off to college,

And indeed did, after my third graduation,

When I moved to the country,

 

Only to find myself back here, in St. Louis,

Some twenty-odd years later,

Doomed to surrender the salvation beyond civilization,

Shackled, again, to the liabilities of societal clutter),

I wish I weren't here, in this crowd-loud restaurant,

 

Rather sitting on the deck of the Lawn Beach Inn,

Eating dinner, overlooking Lake Nebagamon

Blessed with another sixty-degree September sunset,

Intending to spend the rest of my days

Indentured to the serenity of nature's private silences.
