hop to it; he says romping bounding and bouncing
springing into the water gambolling from grass
a frolic – your frisky when dancing and prancing
others have left – cavorting – we’re last
when others fail to do what can be done
making nothing of something and neglecting the one
playing and leaping and splashing and dancing
into the water gambolling and prancing
when all others defer we stand alone
cajoling and fondling and showing affect
when others say ‘no’ we say ‘yes’ over again
giving and sharing when others deflect
it’s time; I tell you; it’s up in the air
put your hand in the way – you jump
(it’s life you are catching)
in some sort of trance the others lie sleeping
you spring into the water with a frolic and frisk –
you spring into the water gambolling like this…
