Quite by accident
I stepped out of
my straitjacket...
And astounded
myself at
my temerity.
Incognito.
A translucent
cloak for its
misty aura,
I surrender myself
with a gypsy's heart
to collect a wealth
of memories
to hoard away!
And all the while
I know-
I'll have to
step back.
The straitjacket's
waiting.
So it cannot
last.
Of course.
Like a leaf
from a book
I'll never write...
My Roman Holiday.
