beach bum

a work in progress...

*

pockets full of seashells

beer bubbles in my nose

a mess of wind-blown matted hair

sand castles in my toes


precocious little crab legs

crawled out of an ice-cream cone

to make the salty solitude

seem a little less alone


i’m a royal shade of golden brown

the sea a stately blue

we’ll take over the world some day

soon as this rhyme is through


pockets full of seashells

a belly full of rum

in weight and worth, each reverie

far greater than their sum

*

blistering barnacles, i made a rhyme!

blame goa...
