The Jungle at Dawn | Excerpt from "Spirit" |

April 17, 2000

I don't want to go to bed
I want to stay up all night long

I wanna skip rope on the rubies
so we can pour the ocean slow like brandy

I wanna walk through the jungle at dawn
so we can meet the natives at the edge of interpretation

I wanna find the last waterfall
so we can walk blindfolded into the African

I don't want to go to bed
I want to stay up all night long
