vicinity, vicinity, vicinity

the foaming ocean under the sky

with the sun almost overhead at noon...

umbrellas, open and too those closed -

for rent - look small to the parasailer

though the seagulls look for

unattended lunch or free popcorn

from tourist lining the shore

after a short stroll on the boardwalk,

greenbacks are exchanged for bing cherry

and espresso bean coffee ice cream

as we escape getting our skin tanned -

I return to cooler air on our fifth floor balcony

now shaded as the sun heads west -

bottle caps for water bottles look like white dots

here at this ocean sea side resort some older

buildings are still low in their profile and I can

see read and white flowers planted in patio

boxes of the rentals that are at ground level -

those folks need to go to the concrete break-

wall in order to see the incoming tide, those

brilliant waves under the sun, cutting the sea
