'ATA 1966 After eight days adrift in the South Pacific, the six boys found themselves marooned on an island. This is not what you think. None was named Piggy. Not one of them wallowed in that muck and mire that men from cities think to be the state of humans in the wild. They used their spears to fish and not for war. Once they lit their fire, they worked in shifts, two by two, to tend it. They raised a garden, found a way to save the rain. When one fell off a cliff, they clambered down to bring him up, then made a cast of leaves to set his broken leg. Can we not sing them instead? Sing how boys will come together, how they’ll work, how they’ll make guitars of coconuts and driftwood, and greet the dawn and dusk with song and prayer. JEREMY PADEN
