perusing around and about the pursuit
to catch the scent of a scent
of days and smiles atop new ground
the heaven of elder youth spent
an empty prison yearns for a face
but none ever read that fool's drivel
an empty person seeks an inmate
with all on parole, oh how civil
for crimes still yet to conceive or commit
evil or good whims dreamed and undreamt
consume or yet be consumed
all for a hint of perfume
