In the streets of one harbour town
where the sky is blue
and the flowers keep shifting colours from yellow to golden
There are sharks in the pool and dolphins too
A sailorman tells me that whales will visit soon
I drop my coffee, decline the wine.
I run towards the pool, jump in and swim out to sea, the sharks and dolphins, follow me
I swim into the bull's way and wave
The whale grabs me by his nose I try to ride, but he refuses to let go
He pushes me right out of sea and back to shore
Disappointed I take my backpack and start to walk
I collect my kids from different shelters
Our house is too big and we leave for the hills
Climbing up with a descending sun and purple sea
the flowers here shift from yellow to golden
A farmer has told me to sit here and wait
Out from the bush comes Chimpanzees, Gorillas and Tasmanian Devils
What a sight
We go to their village
They want to sell crafts that look like wonders
It is beautiful
I need it
and when I offer some coins
The Gorilla laughs
