a kind of call & response scenario
& who isn’t when you’re
trying so hard to lose your balance
strumming the sand like Lou Reed
on a Dick Dale & the Deltones
Greatest Hits album
The needle in the groove
& eucalyptus gargling the seabreeze
I’ll let you do the math
There are perhaps other
more expedient methodologies
if you can but I never could
& worth its weight in greasy blonde platitudes
making the pavement sing
