i want you to take me canoeing
pack a picnic
gather the Hippies
head to Myakka
i want to drift past Alligators
discern an Egret from a Herron
an Ibis from a Spoonbill
i want to sit on a sandy bank
so still
so quiet
as to trick the hermit crabs out of their homes
i want to kiss
i want to wade in cool amber water
watch minnows chase breadcrumbs
i want to gather shells
for safe keeping
i want to bathe in sun
like lazy Snapping Turtles
i want to smell Spanish Moss
watch it swing from Cypress
i want to be inspired
by it
by us
by them
