Carin on Kits

The breeze off the ocean
So clean, refreshing
The sun beating down
So warm, enveloping
The sand conforming
So perfect, relaxing

To find a place like this
Untouched by man’s hand
Would be paradise!

Alas, I am not alone
3 o’clock and all of the west end descends

Hollering teenagers
Music blaring
The party begins

Coarse mouthed burnouts
Partying too
Smoken up a storm

The wind and water act as a megaphone
Forced unintentional ease dropping

A Buddhist monk walks by
And why not?

A clash of the worlds on Kits beach
The only words exchanged
“you’ll never move that log” and
“sorry man” when a football goes astray

Everyone so different
Yet all congregate for the same reason
Warmth, beauty, community = the beach

As for tomorrow
I arrive earlier
With my iPod
