A Favorite Escape Poem by Pierre Rausch

She heard of your coming
See how she could
When also sanity
See how she could
Her own spirit
See how she could
First and foremost
That need in order
Made you what you are
To mourn tomorrow
I insensibly fell
His eyeballs may disappear
I should be afraid
Too nervous to endure
When I respected the sway
My stomach couldn't handle at once
Some vinegar for the finger
That's easy enough
They will accept you for what you said
And for what you just said
With all sorts of arguments
In the inner plot
Into my Cambridge property
