  it's a quiet place here,

             where the peacefulness

 is not

          interrupted,

  but rather

                 complimented

 by the early evening

           geese calling to one another

                      and the songs of cicadas

         and a distant

                        tired

             gunfire

  echoing through

                      the marshlands.

  it's easy

               to hate these distant places,

  but easier still

        to begin enjoying them too late.
