and limes in my
drinks
it was a hot balmy
summer day
in July
we were at the beach
chasing a cool breeze
running in the sands
of life
retarded
hoping for liberation
but only creating
more friction
in the flow
damn it was hot
the children
neverminded
our discomfort
and i wish we were
able to as well
Lime Marguerites
and Lime in our Coronas
only served to
exploit our weakness’
but no worry
a few more
and they would
seemingly
disappear
until tomorrow
Sand was everywhere
a noble quest
was to count the
grains
that we could somehow
possibly understand
the exponentialness
of creation
and God
let me see
where should i start
in the mean time
sweat was dripping
everywhere
adding an ambience to
the day
something to remember
or forget
this is the stuff
memories are made of
the frolicking of
peoples aspirations
to escape life and
live
for a brief moment or
two
quite a profound
dichotomy and comment
and here i sit
several years later
gathering
conjuring
visions of faded
pictures
hung on the walls of
dreams
where i am still that
young man
and life and Monday
is before me
for ever
as i am frozen here
dwelling
on a Hot July day
making mud cakes
with the Sand
sweat and
perspiration
and limes in my
drinks
