I was friendless in the daylight <br />Dragging myself through city streets <br />For any type of contact with human beings <br />I thought I could achieve; <br />I was hoping I would suddenly hear a voice <br />And receive kindness from a stranger <br />Who would take me by the hand and lead me <br />To a gentle lake where I could make <br />A necklace of flowers to place <br />Around her Audrey Hepburn-like neck: <br />These are always the fantasies <br />Of a man exiled in the land of loneliness and poetry.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/audrey-hepburn-like-neck/
