What We Can
swirling sails and sea spray
felt by us virtual sailors
imagining the likes of sailing
without really being there;
chair dwellers recline lazily
drinking from their hidden beers
beach goers walk and talk
without avoiding obstacles
children play in the surf
without hovering parents;
adults scream into the waves
crashing through the water as
onlookers smile at ridiculousness
behind polarized lenses worn;
low tide swimmers venture out
behind safe limits of sense
guards blow hard on whistles
as ignorance excuses no one...
morning quickly settle in
and days quickly pass by but
while we are on this shore, we
try to enjoy what we can.
