Being far away from everyone
Else never protected anyone
Forever and many not very
Long. Tasmania, Easter Island,
Nunavut, Tierra del Fuego—
Anywhere humans could get, humans
Could follow them. Even Amundsen
Barely planted his black flag
Before Scott and his sleds came along,
And the planet’s much, much smaller now.
Where do you think you’re going to hide?
The way to get away from people
Is to be no one living nowhere
Anyone else might find intriguing,
Hoping no one stumbles over you.
