He fills his canoe
with the marshmallows of portentous aplomb.
and rows to the island of impending doom.
He walks to the edge of despair
and sits on the rock of maudlin woe
and eats the marshmallows one by one
until he falls asleep.
He is awoken by a song
that is a madeleine
a time machine,
a therapy session.
He becomes a lizard-turtle.
He dives into the waters
and swims home.
