i'th'wilderness with'th'womon

i was dance
in the wilderness
but
there were trees there
they o'ercrowed my spirit
so
i went to a grove
by which i mean
a clearing
and what should i find
but a table
so i sat down
and ate lunch
and then
i danced from atop the table
and i saw
a womon
swinging
from tree to tree
and i called out to her
but she swung away
i do not know whether she avoided me
or simply didn't notice me
but
i was distraught
nonetheless
nevertheless
i pursued her
but
i could not keep up
so
i ventured in another direction
and found
a deer
and i asked it
"how are you"
and it said
"i am well thank you"
and i asked it
"how might one go about escaping this wild
and it replied
"that way"
and pointed
with its antlers
toward the grove
i thanked it nonetheless
because
it is the polite thing to do
and i went back to the grove
and set up camp
and made a fire
and the womon came to the fire
attracted by its light
and we sat
and ate
and drank
and slept
but not together
for that would be uncouth
and when i awoke
she was gone
and it turned out
that the exit
from the wilderness
was at the edge
of the grove
so
i exited
and that
was the end
of that
