Wilderness
By Carl Sandburg

… O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Everything is enormous.

500 foot waterfalls look like trickles.

Took a boat tour in the torrential rain there.

Got back to my campsite and decided to hang out in a hollow tree.

Birdy hopped in and we had quite a visit together.
