earth note 665


smathers beach, key west

an open cabana
has a way of drawing you in
to a struggling colony of fire ants
manic about their own survival
you learn quickly
how to dodge and run

we escape with an umbrella
for the wide open sands
cloudless sky
beneath blue heaven
on the far side
a natural coral breakwater

let the world be at peace
     oh-mmm
