No telling


 No telling

Johnclarestokes 


You know, there is a place in earshot

Of the roaring, where it seems time forgot

Or at least, you can get there legally

For lately, it seems, every place is privately

owned, reserved for those who seldom

venture along, for they have usually a 

multitude of homes, and we who in cheap

kayaks roam, aren’t welcome, unless we

by some quirk, know them, and usually,

we don’t, or wouldn’t care to.

So I’m not telling

Where the thousand cypress knees

Are dwelling

Lest the call goes out to the realtor

I must own this place

Make haste.
