Nick-Nacks And Things

Palm trees sway along the way
And kids carry water
More carefully than a father
Could carry his daughter.

Surf shifts sand along this land
A boy sifts through scum
More dutifully than his mother
could care for her suffering son.

We sip primary coloured drinks
And then throw up in sinks
That a daughter pores over
To give mum nick-nacks and things.
