waves roll over
with a soft crashing
white noise
that splays out into a sizzle
as foamy water
expands flatly over hot sand
until the sizzle is washed out
by the next wet crash
and then more sizzle
and then more crash
sizzle & crash
crash & sizzle
The kids struck out for the white sands of Cancun,
but to avoid throngs they went at high noon.
A crowd, there was not.
It was so freakin' hot
that each and every last one of them swooned.
