Pseudo-European SensibilityA Poem by Outdated AccountA poem about "Europe"I have always wanted to see "Europe". Not the place, not a country. But the age, the ancientness of it. Mostly I like the moss. I always have liked "Spanish" Moss. It hangs, Sad and weary, yet mysterious. A spirit could sit upon that branch. The trees are not my simple pines, It's groves are utterly foreign, As is the mist that hangs about it; The air that sings of the past. I look for it in all the strangest places. In graveyards, where I only find grass. In woods, too tame to hold a single beast. Everything I see... is safe. There is a shadow in "Europe", Something old, and gray, and dark. A fantasy that I search for, But not to find.
