Extending Summer
motorcycle sounds echo out
from the parking garage,
disrupting the mesmerizing sounds
of the ocean waves crashing
along the coastline of our
oriented, not just for fishing, town;
blue skies overhead with no
clouds in sight provide easy
access for a Fall sun that refuses
to hide from a evening of
humid thunderstorms and an
anxious group of vacationers
who are just not over the
tranquility of another summer;
senior surfers turned shell hunters
walk with pride up and down the
sandy beach, holding their scooper
in one hand while balancing their
movement with the other, never
closing tired, sun bleached eyes;
children, not yet in school frolic
with their parents forming sand
castles at low tide that by the
afternoon will be hidden and
returning to what they were
doing before the tourists arrive.
