NO ALARMS
currents in the water care not
if you are young or old,
knocking down the best of us,
beach keepers, up and down
the sand they walk...
keeping us safe they try,
preventing not our silly
carelessness...
whistles blow
flags out
surf's up
rip tides all around us are,
humbles strong and weak,
blaming only ourselves
for our stupidity...
no longer does the water
reflect the sky as the
day changes mildly...
no longer do we have
the time to die...
not today but maybe
tomorrow...
differently each day seen,
of course, moving our
action a little farther south.
