| A Jungle Walk We leave, headlamps beaming "Turn left," says Chris and you're on your way From Tonsai to Railay Brad first then I keep Up, Up, Up. . . The insects blaring then stop as we pass Imagination alive as I look around What was that? A snake, a monkey, a lizard, Or only a vine? My boots hit the roots, and I try not to whine. My protector starts down and I close behind Hands out like on a balance beam- I start to descend. "You're such a girl!" I hear from below "I'm trying my best," my muttered response. The creatures watching Amused by the show As the two, again joined go down the path To their bungalow. Jennifer McDowell |
