leaving for the beach

i look out
the window, awaiting the Uber
that will take
me to the train,
which will take me to the Eastern
shore for a few days.
my one bag
is packed.
four t-shirts, two pairs
of shorts,
underwear
and sandals.
a swimsuit and a hat.
i look around the room
thinking that
i've forgotten
something.
oh yes,
a charger for the phone
and water wings.
one small plastic bucket
and one
shovel, the address book
for postcards.
