A difference of a few inches
Counts big time within the species,
But I would rather stand very still
And let the red rubber ball
Sting my thigh, than play the game to the end.
Because even now the afternoon clouds
Are leaping like a herd of frightened elk
Over the ill-proportioned fences,
And soon mother and father's shift will end,
And they will be back around to drive me home.
