barbecue by the beach,

heart shaped fireworks,

cheap gas station beers,

a nameless card game

~

an old man with tanned loose skin

surfing into the sunset,

a little kid filling plastic bottles

with barbecue smoke.

~

burning sun

trapped between

the horizon and the

sprawling banyan arms.

~

happiness is cheaper than dirt,

happiness has no depth, there is no reflection

involved. happiness is child’s play;

only, we have grown up a bit too much.

~

and we see the world as it is

and not as it could be,

and that is sadder

than the setting sun.
