Pristine Countryside



It is the Wednesday after Easter and we’re still 
catching up on sleep - there’s nothing better t’ 
weather th’ climatic irony anyhow; it didn’t wet 
itself silly over the weekend but from now until 
Friday we’re not going anywhere, lest a canoe 
graces us with its presence, which’d mean the 
creeks have had the last word again; that’s not 
dramatic as it might seem either, in any sense 

So we count our blessing f’ being pleasantly & 
properly situated where we’re appreciatively in 
tune with, but less any forms o’ th’ patrimonial 
judgement apprehending that scene, all things 
pristine countryside needs to be free restraints 
o’ ancient and panegyric doggerel’s complaint
