post card from o. c.

i like the beach.
except for the time i stepped
on a crab
and cut my foot open
the other day.
other than that,
it's fun.
the water, the boardwalk.
people watching.
the fried food,
the ice cream.
i like how my skin has turned
beet red,
and pulsates as
i try to sleep at night.
i can still feel the
motion of the ocean
in my body
as i lie in bed,
the swing and sway of
waves.
i don't mind the water
in my ears,
or the sand between my toes
at all.
i'll bring you back some
salt water taffy
and a few shells
when i come home.
miss you.
