He lay as a giant would on the land,
he forced his spine and his bumps to jibe
with ruffling trees
on horizon.
He swam as a giant would,
and at a stroke his arm
entire fell, hurting the water.
He added whole feet to his figure
with high heel shoes, vertical stripes—
stovepipe, sparklers shooting off ash
whole feet or miles
from his fierce hairline.
