earth note 644


i awoke to a gale
highway one deserted
a most unusual moment
leaving only the wind singing

the day before was different
the heat and ocean
brought out the well-dressed
     and us
grungy and independent
never a dress code that can't be crashed

and then there's coffee
but it's never strong enough
the brain can always use a tuneup
so keep looking

there are perfect tans and convertibles
and lots of selfies from all corners
of the body
bless 'em all

a pet white rabbit decided to escape
and throw in lot with the wild hens and roosters
staying clear of the traffic is a feat
requires a quick foot and luck

cormorants seagulls pelicans
skim and dive
fish past dusk
all instinct
no coffee needed
