Leave No Trace and Look Back No More

3/12/09
Dedicated to Cameron Mo

At the crack of dawn
We packed our lunches
Hopped on the train
And headed far enough
To avoid this place

With pails and cups
And sticks and spoons
We stationed ourselves
And got ready to build

These complicated structures
Without a manual
No keys to ever pocket
No bells to ever ring

No bills to ever pay
No duties to ever meet
This world was literally touching
Our tanned and naked feet

And when the sun grew tired
And lay down to go to sleep
The shoreline crawled and reached
Our burned and dirty feet

The water washed away
The dirt and all the sand
It came to wash away
Our little Neverland
