A tree he cannot name in a stranger's yard.
His happiness in leaf at last, boughs that dance seasonal and spontaneous, the tree shaking light like a drenched dog.
He has just time to pluck a sprig from the lowest branch before the bus arrives.
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax -- Of cabbages -- and kings -- And why the sea is boiling hot -- And whether pigs have wings.
