a futile flimsy breeze
moves occasionally
from the north
softening the heat
as it bears down
upon our fragilities
and the lotions we
applied earlier in the day;
sun bleached skin stings
in the salt waters of
the endless ocean that
continuously preys up
and down our eastern shores
on the recklessness of
people who do not fear
its inherent strength;
umbrellas block the sun's
intensities but do not
its imposing humidity
as dehydration offers
liquid encouragement
to endure the day and
boast of another victory
over mother nature.
