Sleepy towns divided by a stone's throw

Speaking different languages within hearing distance

And always the river's lullaby

Its sweetly caressing song:

***

"your differences are arbitrary

if only you would know

and like my distant tributaries

you form the same great flow"

***

Two days we drifted languidly

Past elephant and buffalo

And children playing free

***

All

As we

Schooled daily

In flowing

Sagacity
