Coco

Sit in the cold gray sand. Like a sand crab,

nestle between each grain and wait

for the waves to crash on the shore. Tell me how

the beach is like the sky, a map of tiny things

I know you went running

yesterday

and your kids had a great

first day of school

picture, anyway,

I wore overalls too

but everyone will think

I was copying you

won't they didn't they
