Going global

I sank into the bath
and nobody called.
I luxuriated under soft silken bubbles,
dipped my head listening to the watery silence.

Dolphins crested the glistening foam,
and carried me to Africa
to see efalants, wildebeest,
and a giant moclius bird
with two beaks.

In India I met a monkey
whose hair was red.
And a great green crocodile was caught
gawping in my direction
looking hungry.

A komodo dragon dribbled dangerously
near my warm and neatly folded towel
in China.
And an anacodona waved his head
as I surfaced and heard:
'Where's mummy? `
'South America', you said.
