`
two banana boats
two parasailing one plane
tiny deviled crab
floating above trees
sky and sea beautiful blues
the wind is perfect
the delightful air
and then an upside down fish
closes in on you
before you can move
a bird tried to pick him up
as big as she is
then five birds appear
drop him four times and then leave
losing appetite
facing each other
incoming banana boat
other outgoing
he’s an extrovert
and their captains are also
one circles the waves
the water like glass
clear enough to see clear fish
schools delight the eyes
heaven to watch you
fireworks over the beach
we are still waiting
last three nights at twelve
only hearing from inside
through the tall oak trees
standing by the pond
you hear a man cross the bridge
“hey table for one
it’s good to see you”
there is no person behind
ducks quack in the night
