The car parks and the roar of the car stops
you walk over to the stand
that already has trash on it
though you are on time.
You walk down the path
with the crackle snap
bang meow
underfoot.
Over the roar
of the cars is
the bigger roar
of the sea.
The sea is like a
great big dragon
roaring
in
defeat.
You see the beach and you want to lay down in the sand
but when you see the beach you can’t see the sand.
