bird sanctuary
butterflies and crabs run free
three crabs are swimming
thousands on the land
still running away from friends
four fish float downstream
racing fish by land
i think they’re going to win
first to the ocean
band practice cancelled
only five to six fishes
in three different groups
fish so very clear
easier seeing shadows
seagull siesta
one hour by sea
know you will not have to move
the fish still coming
middle of the stream
she rubs sunscreen on his back
before their long walk
declare and decree
couples walking everywhere
paired at two o clock
people sitting high
on the room in the middle
of two large hotels
ten thousand a night
september sand dollar lies
somewhere on the beach
quacking and kung foo
everybody was kung foo
and a big raccoon
man on the boardwalk
speaking of this to his wife
bird knows where to stand
i guarantee you
the seagull will catch a fish
before the man does
not even an inch
tadpoles zigzagging away
no destination
follow you upstream
seagull must have caught a fish
she has disappeared
bird in indoor pool
contemplating three feet deep
no life preserver
