Crusoe

I wish only for the sense of nearby motion in this silence,
for a believable keepsake even of a far-off, future comfort.
Nothing is definitively wrong with the present situation,
but I worry that if I live too long on this barren plain,
I may forget how to live in the sometimes too-populous city.
