Atop a pirate ship rides Peter Pan
All spring and dance and Dionysian grin.
"This happy place is Never Never Land,
Where time is not and youth has always been,
"Where prince and princess ever after live,
While paper dragons ever after roar
Outside the walls, where fairy spirits give
You all your heart sought after evermore."
What deed the hero's meant to do, he does,
The villain's laugh turns daily to dismay.
And nothing is that wasn't what it was
The day before the day before today.
It can't be otherwise. A place where real
Things happen is a place where real things end.
The costumes, props, and sets are all ideal,
But time is kept at bay. The walls are thin.

I am alive and have two legs. This state of affairs will hopefully continue for quite some time.
