And Edward Gorey:

The Eleventh Episode, by Raddory Gewe (Edward Gorey)
or, "Whatever"

The window, which was open wide,
Let in a scream that rose outside.

It came, she thought, from down the well;
She leaned too far and promptly fell.

She knew no more until the thud
With which she landed on some mud.

A disused tunnel at her feet
She followed to a sordid street

A passing cyclist seized her arm;
She felt that he intended harm.

Her gown supplied her with a pin;
She chose a spot and stuck it in.

She fled by tram, then train and boat,
To places ever more remote.

she changed her name and spent the days
In painting Scenes from Life on trays.

She cleared the garden of its weeds
And planted several thousand seeds.

Small creatures picked the flowers at dawn
And danced with them about the lawn.

Until they all, down to the least,
Were eaten by a monstrous beast.

Next day a motorist drove up
And told her to expect a cup.

The weeks went by; no package came;
She did not know the sender's name.

'Life is distracting and uncertain,'
She said and went to draw the curtain.
