on the
atlantic side
there's an
irregular juxtaposition most notable
between food trucks
heavy in frying
and the expensive hotels
just across the avenue
the ocean
is the common
denominatorsettling all disputes
as the tide speaks
you will put away
territorial notions
and just listen
once in a
while
a group
stuffedin a convertible
will pull up
onto the beachside sidewalk
for photos
and showing off bodies
we're living
through
ego mania like
it'sa new survival technique
there's no use complaining
i can't rationalize it
'cause i'm part
of the problem
the city
streets
are packed with once-a-year bicycles
i wear my eco stickers
on my bicycle top tube
and believe i'm doing
my part
yes aleppo
that city in
syriais being bombed again
today
refugees flood toward
the ocean
connecting us all
