What Could Have Been

I'm thinking right now
of the time that could have been
had I gone native,
taken that thatch hut
for home on the hill's back side
close to the crab filled
beach
(they're red crabs, with
eye stalks that raise up)
and there's
monkey troops that pass
along the hill line
and the monsoon floods it all
every damn year.
