A Berkey snuck into my house

and spelled me from mountain creeks

I turned unplayful and pragmatic

Dried up the drink of evergreens

against the endless sky

"People you may know" 

carousel

Among them a nature man

almost barefoot

No dog, no girlfriend seen with him

A goddamned weirdo, of course 

When suddenly! - a woman

on his shoulder

I go drinking tea in peace
