“The Cuban Doctor” by Wallace Stevens 🇺🇸 (2 Oct 18792 Aug 1955)
I went to Egypt to escape
The Indian, but the Indian struck
Out of his cloud and from his sky.
This was no worm bred in the moon,
Wriggling far down the phantom air,
And on a comfortable sofa dreamed.
The Indian struck and disappeared
I knew my enemy was near—I,
Drowsing in summer’s sleepiest horn.
