Origins
head first
then head and shoulders
a seal ascends
above the waterline
to observe our
much clumsier
interaction with the waves
we call holiday
somewhere along the path
of evolution we
seem to have lost
more than gained
free and effortless movement
fresh provender
in ready supply without
need for fuss or preparation
