Island King

His statue has been painted seventeen times
scraped away then repainted fished out of the
Falklands larger than life ancient trees shade
wind sugar whales dolphins part of Maui
my smile is not always me eyes one road
tourists buy seven dollar cones complaining
there's language nothing else at the school
dancing is in the community thirty to a room
branches have fallen this is bad they will be cut
new library too far to walk old one right across
yes born right over there at the center living
fragments wait for signatures write the date
