Ivory tower

by Philip Fortune

I’m not amused by the scheme of things;
The social whirl of the chattering classes.
I’d rather lie under the stars all night,
Basking in Jupiter’s rings of light.

I love the calm of my own company
Working away on my balcony;
In my Ivory Tower, where I am free,
Breathing the freshening, healing air—
Of imperturbability!

Amen! I too love my own company and lots of serenity! It's very inspirational, as is this poem. Anna
