a day at the beach

we go to the beach,
but it's
off limits for a five mile
stretch.
no walking,
no swimming,
no throwing the ball around,
or walking
your dog
to play catch.
and then you see the luminous
figure
on the beach chair up ahead,
stretched
out under a large umbrella,
with a blue
hat on his head.
he's surrounded by men
in black.
licking
ice-cream cones,
nibbling on caramel popcorn
and water taffy,
and other
beach like snacks.
