Goat Island

On that island wild goats

climb cliffs. Women

govern the place, living

mostly in the mountains.

It is a matriarchy,

which, based on reason

and evidence, advises

the citizenry, including men,

what to do. I've sent for a

brochure. I'm not sure

if I want to apply to live

there. But I'm a man, 

and I don't mind being

directed by experts,

especially if they're women. 

Apparently the fishing 

is good, there's a solid

poetic tradition, and live

music thrives. I'll let you

know what happens with

me and Goat Island.
