I see the fools walking down.  "Ooh!  Look, a niche!  *wudge*  And
just my size, too!"

I see the proud walking down.  "I shall stand here.  I need no niche."

I walk down.  And i start digging myself a niche.  Digging, in the
basalt, with my teeth.  I know i have time before the tsunami comes
and washes clear the fools in their illfitting niches, and the proud
who stand unprotected.

And when the wave is past, i will keep walking down.
