the same shore

as i lie
here on this beach towel
bought
from
a boardwalk
store,
i listen to my transistor
radio,
red and squared like
a box.
there's the waft
of chicken
and French fries in
the air.
i hear the ocean breaking 
behind me,
the sputter of a small
plane
dragging a banner
across the blue sky.
i'm here again,
as if i've never
left,
the same boy, on the same
shore,
no different than
it was
in 1964.
