Now I have:
seen them- I mean -
those pyramids,
as I crossed the Nile,

stayed up 'til
sunrise on more
than one tropic,
far too distant isle:

but those red
sails in the sun-
set still don't mean
you belong to me.

Cherry read
about Alfie
Blossom's Wife.

On days like these,
I skinned my knees
and it really
was a very good year.

If only you had
flown me to the moon.
