This is a bit of the continent, sticking out
into the warmer sea to the southeast.
Most of its inhabitants call it Florida.
Actually, they don’t. Most of its
inhabitants don’t call it anything. They
don’t even know it exists. Most of them
have six legs, and buzz. A lot of them
have eight legs and spend a lot of time in webs waiting for six-legged
inhabitants to arrive for lunch. Many of
the rest have four legs, and bark or moo or even lie in swamps pretending to be
logs.
