He tells us nothing,
lest he should scare the child inside us.
who plays the game of life,
and splashes with his palms,
he likes the sound of splashing,
and laughs face towards sundown.
Whatever I ask, he answers
blankly, "Play!"
And hides behind common words,
behind bars of cloud.

Sea games.
A group of untanned tourists
ordered about by their guide
play the following game:
six couples volunteer
six paper rolls are brought,
the six young men
start wrapping
from head to foot
the six young women
using the six paper rolls.
"Faster, gentlemen", the guide shouts,
"he who finishes the MUMMY is the winner."

The six mummies are perfect at last,
stiff, well wrapped,
and so fast, that you can't tell who the winner is,
but the illusion is unbelievable.
