we
were on a beach and there were people around
and you cut two small
squares for me with your pocket knife
and the mother next to me stared
for a long time
with
her sunglasses sliding down to the edge of her nose
and
the brim of her hat very close to my face
we
sat on the beach and everything was bright and shimmering and we were
sitting on a towel
and
a seagull carried a shark in its mouth and we ran towards it for a
long time
we
drew things in the sand with our toes like animals and pentagrams and we gathered
seaweed and made a fortress for the baby crabs we found dead or dying
we
made them a castle
they
had a kingdom
we
had a kingdom
that
lasted ~8 hours
until
we ate pizza
and
drove back to Philly
