shorts, towel, socks and shirts.
money.
a three day

four hundred miles.
is the ocean still there?
the sand,
the gulls.
the boardwalk?
what's changed since

is there all you can eat
at Captain Bob's.
Pocahontas Pancakes,
Jimmy's Kebabs?
is there
ice cream?
of course to all that, but

or facing the rear,
and the distant bay
a line of
air conditioners
grinding out cool air
for our stay.
