Congress

(visiting a beach in NC)

 

Topsail

I’m pretending that the air is

Ionized

And that it’s good for me

 

Up-and-over steps, across the dune

Down to the sand

A public access, though

There are only a few people here today

Some dogs

But all the birds

 

Are meeting

Fish and trash on the agenda

I have nothing for them so

They fly from me

Disdain

 

I pick up shells and stones

Some with rough edges

Some worn smooth through the refinement

Of the sea

 

Together we show

Large and small

Nature’s power
