assateague
island
if
there's such a thing
as
a light gale
lots
of wind
&
a little rain
lifting
the sand
off
the beach
like
hard-hitting dust
on
a lonesome highway
it
was last night
that
i brushed back
the
memories
of
that journey
morning
solar panels
soaked
in wind & salt
with
only a touch
of
sun
in
the old part
of
the ocean city boardwalk
the
old carnies are long gone
but
the millennials
or
maybe generation z
still
have a representative
in
the space balls girl
sitting
behind
a
fading shell
a slow day
a
faraway stare
