The kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning "large foot"). In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, especially those of the genus Macropus: the red kangaroo, antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, and western grey kangaroo. Kangaroos are endemic to Australia. The Australian government estimates that 34.3 million kangaroos lived within the commercial harvest areas of Australia in 2011, up from 25.1 million one year earlier. (sourced from Wikipedia)

On the beach, a group of youth are practising football - more for fun than actual practice. In a frantic attempt to catch the ball in mid-air, the horizon has become a slope ......

The sky is grey
The sea not too blue
The horizon is wonky
The ball is sanquine
Winter sun is weak
How far would this traverse
In the direction
Of eternity???
