I sat down
where the great man wrote
to take a look
read from his book
& heard what he heard
saw what he saw
& I understood the words
had already fallen
for the idea
some time ago
felt the sense of place
exit from cities
foul humanity
dirt squalor disgrace
but I was not the only pilgrim
others had been before
& no doubt more
will come
like those who leave their litter
bottles cans paper plastic
homage corrupts if the wanderer
comes for bragging rights
not in peace
