  3. First Stanza Here is where You can get nowhere Faster than ever As you go under Deeper and deeper

  4. Second Stanza In the fertile smother Of another acre Like any other You can’t peer over And then another Fertile – capable of producing abundant vegetation or crops.

  5. Third Stanza And everywhere You veer or hare There you are Farther and farther Afield than before Hare – is a fast-running, long-eared mammal that resembles a large rabbit.

  6. Fourth Stanza But you blunder In the verdant meander As if the answer To looking for cover Were to bewilder Blunder – is a stupid or careless mistake. Meander – a winding course. Verdant – green with grass or other rich vegetation. Bewilder – cause to become perplexed and confused.

  7. Fifth Stanza Your inner minotaur And near and far were Neither here nor there And where you are Is where you were Minotaur – a mythical monster with the head of a bull and the body of a man.
