other kids tumble along sea shores
like somersaulting seashells
with parents who chase
them
with doughnuts
and tuck them into seahorse pockets
where i suppose…
there are warm showers
and hot chocolate.
but
you won’t find
us
there
marked for fun
look
out here
somewhere beyond
strands
see us
see us too?
bits of broken glass
lost
at sea
rolling around slimy weeds,
fishy hands
and we don’t know
what to do
with
rust color
incest crabs
which chase our feet
like vapors
of a wet hissing cat
it bites us
because
it hates us
i guess
there are no marshmallows
i have looked.
hot chocolate
going once
going twice
gone
our arms grow weak
as pink jelly
strewn across beaches
and just
when
i
know
this incremental death
is our life
check it out
the sun!
it’s rising!
on the horizon!
see it?
hey you !
hey you kid !
bobbing around with your eyes full of salt
look!
see him?
theres a guy over there!
walking on water
yeah , i know it’s crazy
but
i bet there are doughnuts
in his pockets
yeah
something good is about to happen
That guy walking on water can help in any situation. 😀
