the little kid playing in the sand
by the river bank making
walls and castles and splashing
about in sunshine
like there’s no tomorrow and
yesterday is nothing but
a dream
while i sit nearby like a lizard
being the grown-up for once
The gorillas are not yet sufficiently advanced in evolutionary terms to have discovered the benefits of passports, currency-declaration forms, and official bribery, and therefore tend to wander backward and forward across the border as and when their beastly, primitive whim takes them. (Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See, 1990)
