Eternity resembles
\nOne long Sunday afternoon.
\nNo traffic passes; the cigar smoke
\nCurls in a blue cocoon.
\nChildren, have you nothing
\n for our cold sakes?
\nNo tea? No little tea cakes?
\nSometimes now the rains disturb
\nEven our remote suburb.
\nThere’s a dampness underground.
\nThe dead don’t get around
\n Much anymore.<\/p>\n
