jazz white bikini
after only ten minutes
rain drops touching face
lasting minuet
balcony reconnaissance
only man and beer
no one is smoking
in the pool just right outside
so close if it rains
you begin choking
just inhaling inhaler
our government banned
are you alright dear
it’s the charcoal smoke blowing
missing golf cart twice
standing inside pool
smoking three long cigarettes
a man at the beach
trying the best pool
no one is allowed to smoke
walk inside there’s smoke
no one is smoking
the pool or the jacuzzi
or standing around
most of the people
looking for shark in the bay
standing on the bridge
no less than a week
“there are no sharks in the bay”
he told his two sons
“the shark has escaped”
while i am writing they shout
and now back to two
found the dumb smokers
blowing smoke inside the pool
sitting at the door
don’t know where to go
what will become of me now
third attack this hour
two police cars sit
they wanted to see the shark
walk over the bridge
two weeks end tonight
our favorite family
“who will never smoke”
the man doesn’t know
there could be sharks in the bay
some call it a creek
