The Sandy Facade (Free verse) by nothingtoanyone
A gray sea gull flew past my windows view.
As I looked out at the cactus covered beach line, I was reminded of
lasts weeksâ humorous episode.
Monday of last week the Head Lines read:
âAt 2:15 today a runner ran into a
cactus wile running along 'Yuma Beach'. An evenly distributed blanket of
thorns impaled the twenty-five year old man. The only explanation that
he gave the reporters was that he was distracted by a nudist party who
was protesting the war.â
How imposable this would seem if read by someone who lived two million
years ago. For it was a known fact then that there was no beachfront
property in Arizona.
