call me Larry of Arabia

i have sand
in my eyes, my underwear,
my outerwear,
my shoes
and socks.
sand is between my toes,
crusted in
the cavern of my ear.
my eyes are full of it.
i can feel it
grind against my teeth,
as we walk along
the shore.
the wind
beating us with the sting
of sand
blown hard
without restraint.
i feel like Lawerence of Arabia,
but without the white sheets
and braided 
headband.
no camel either.
