grow full of desire,
and the great beasts mate in secret at last,
hiding their fire.”

Mean nothing. His distinction between Me and Us
Is a matter of taste; his seasons are Dry and Wet;

To see the elephant jump the fence.
He jumped so high he reached the sky,
And didn’t get back till the Fourth of July.”
