<h3> <SPAN name="escape"></SPAN> ESCAPE<br/> </h3>
<p class="poem">
When foxes eat the last gold grape,<br/>
And the last white antelope is killed,<br/>
I shall stop fighting and escape<br/>
Into a little house I'll build.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
But first I'll shrink to fairy size,<br/>
With a whisper no one understands,<br/>
Making blind moons of all your eyes,<br/>
And muddy roads of all your hands.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
And you may grope for me in vain<br/>
In hollows under the mangrove root,<br/>
Or where, in apple-scented rain,<br/>
The silver wasp-nests hang like fruit.<br/></p>
<p><br/><br/><br/></p>
