on the beach
under the stark
silhouettes of trees
sandy feet
sea salt breeze
hard to be mad
at nights like these

hold my tongue
my thoughts
held
to the roof of my
mouth
ideas flow
out with the
tides
second
third
fourth
chances
damn lucky some part
of the world's
on my side
feel that spin
gravity's hold
takin' my feet
terra firm
planted
hopefully stayin' put
after flyin' off
too many times before
brought down to earth
!¡\¿<< H A R D >>¡!?
but the crater
ain't too deep
climbing out
a mangled
heap
but still hobbling along
still howling with lune
singin' that wolf song

reminds me of myself in 2005 in Daytona Beach, FL. I was drinking like a fish for a year beforehand, I escaped my parents house (I was 20 at the time) by maxing out a credit card I had forgotten I had on a plane ticket to Daytona Beach, and roamed the beach daily (12+ mi walked per day) just drying up in the sun. I drank every so often, but couldn't afford it, panhandling wasn't worth it. Penninless and itemless I just drank water and felt the liberation of no things, no schedule, no cares, no destination, just me me me. Probably one of the happiest times :)
