earth note 643


key west

coconuts dried up & splitting
on the world stage
     fronds tremble
like a gray beard shakes at the root
a windy sunday has nowhere else to go
big mutts race across the dog park
never conscious of the peril of a thumb print
or the iris of an eye
just beyond today's broken sound barriers
