Spangled With Dandelions

I crave the long grass, spangled with dandelions,
Away from Sunday's sunburned, misguided beauticians,
Free from the confines of rectangles and squares,
Where the round, rolling toes of the foothills
and pyramids beyond all Egypt's comprehension
Replace the knee-grinding right angles of stairs.
The thought of these things, and their closeness, tantalizes.
I know that even though I haven't started leaving,
I'm already most of the way there.
