The coconut husks lying in the sand on this empty island of mine would be best put to use collecting the raindrops, the milk, refreshment, sustenance. But I have no patience to form complex structures.
3、Maybe at night, when its dark and my thoughts run away, but then Im always tired and scared. During the day, I skip and skip and skip over to the next husk.
