We two boys together clinging,
One the other never leaving,
Up and down the roads going, 
   North and South excursions making,
Power enjoying, elbows stretching, 
 fingers clutching,
Arm'd and fearless, eating, drinking, 
  sleeping, loving,

 


 June 1991

June 2000

No law less than ourselves owning, 
  sailing, soldiering, thieving threatening,
Misers, menials, priests alarming, air breathing,
  water drinking, on the turf or the 
  sea beach dancing,
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes
  mocking, feebleness chasing,
Fulfilling our foray.

-Walt Whitman
