Hurtling down the motorway
'Once this would have all
been sprawling woodland
Y'know?'
Yeah, unkempt, overwhelming,
Rampant forest.
Lucky now that we've
Caged it.
Confined it to the borders
Of the fields
And our uniform hued
Green spaces
In the city.
For now 'The Way through the Woods'
Doesn't have the woods
On either side,
Thankfully.
Author notes
The title and third to last line come from the poem of the same name by Rudyard Kipling, and so the whole poem is a kind of reaction to that one.
