what if you could escape the world

[Alan Sondheim]

what if you could escape the world
what if there were a magic bridge
what if the bridge led to th bottom of the cliff
what if there were a cave, what of the cave
what if there were an ocean just beyond,
what if you could descry the ocean
what if you could smell the salt air, what if you
could just about descry the limits of the cave,
what if you could escape the world, and into the world
what if you could escape the world, there is a building,
there is a building in the distance, what if you were
looking at a picture that was a thing, a picture-thing
of the world-picture, what if you could escape the
picture, what if you could escape the world
