Retro

Lavender farm to the sea
      in Hawaii,
The first worker proposed, as the place
      to end all places
And more were offered
      to the agile divinities:
      
Queen Charlotte Island accessible
       only by boat,
The Pismo barefoot lifestyle,
       even the sofa 
Where the children were read to ...

Until the last to speak saw her home,
       Walpole, abode
Of the prison, the orangeade farm,
        the one road to the den
Of the lawless champion
        pitching razor blades.
