DAY AT THE BEACH

DAY AT THE BEACH

Messy vitality energy of tourists artists vendors handouts

from time stand still body builders to newer relevant skateboard park 

in the shadow of the SM Pier and ferries wheel stroll along the shore

children galore with their first fist full of sand
jumping for joy in the surf 

sounds of waves crashing and slap and spanking the shore

parachute blowing in the wind with harnassd tethered to a boat

dolphins paddle boaters seagulls dive bombing for lunch

homeless guitarist with a solar panel has just played 
Dear Prudence for the 1000th time that I have heard '

and Harry Parry Mr. Pepsi Generation icon with the turban and roller skates
playing the same guitar licks for over 40 years

tee shirt shops food shops  bookstores musicians jugglers dancers good art and very bad art
bikers and skaters and movers and shakers make it hard to cross over the bike paths

tattoo places med marijuana junk food fast food tarot psychic names on a grain of rice
yogurt or a cone of ice

adding it up to one fine and dandy day 
to be continued tomorrow
