Sea Level Brain Drain

Long arcing rollers
gliding in on the high tide

Sunlight all broken up on the surface
a bazillion pieces of chrome flashing along the
pulse of it

The locals just paddle through teardrops

look the other way

Beach barbeque in the rock garden
with drugs, Mex beer
& a dark blood cognac
              which they say can either inspire
              Prophetic Dreams
                              or leave you stranded
              in a dark corner of your mind
                                                trying to remember
                              how you got there
