the
beach incredible
heat salt water lapping crashing ocean front
sun shining bright in day glorious
in setting seagulls flying high then
landing amongest the guests of the
sand randomly releasing their
extremities atop the umbrellas or heads of
the same guests
they were once resting by
as they land picking at
the tiny clams just left on the
wet shore by
the foamy white edging
of the crashing water the waves
rise and fall
as the surfers try
desperately to stay above the water and the
circling sharks below
obviously too close to the shore snapping
at the feet of the oh so smart
north carolina surfers and swimmers
the nearby dawsons creek set has attracted
the
usual crowd who are now enjoying their
time on the north carolina shore watching
drowning surfers scream
at the top of their lungs while being
bitten by the misplaced sharks while
lifeguards wearily climb down from the towers
in an effort to save the helpless yet are slow in their descent
and do not seem to care but rather do it because they
are being paid high sums of money to
act like they really care in their
tight shorts and itty bitty swimsuits issued by the staff that hired
them sweat drips from the bodies of everyone on the beach in the
midsummer heat the humidity makes it feel more like one hundred
and ten degrees instead of the true ninety seven reported by the
local news station reporting live at noon |
