Beach Sentimentalism

Don’t wear shoes to the ocean,
not the normal kind, with actual
hard soles, no way.  It’s like being
in Ireland and crawling like a baby

to the Blarney.  Who’s got the insight
to go streaking after the sun sets?
Bert found Ernie under a cop car
folded into a bowtie that was

being worn by Mr. Reynolds.  “That’s
a wrap!” calls the diva into the bull
horn like an exhausted, slightly
emaciated ragdoll.  Train engines

run at two in the afternoon during
each performance, come what may.
