Where I Live

Where I Live

Where I live

Bikini season just ended

It will begin anew

On Monday

We have 28 words

For Sunny

We have no words

For Cold

Sea Turtles

Crossing the beaches

Is the largest

Spectator sport

Breakfast consists

Of crabs

And conch

With an OJ chaser

Unfortunately,

Amazon shipping rates

Are astronomical

But worth it

I see constellations

Few,

where I grew up,

Have ever witnessed

I feel breezes

Carrying songs of

Love and more love

Never once a piercing siren

I know my neighbors

They know me

We rely on each other

When adversity strikes

Each day is measured

By the quality of opportunity

Not the quantity presented

Or the quantity taken

I live on island time

Even though

I don’t live

On an island

I learned snorkeling

By trading away

Rush hour

And income tax season

Where I live

Is where you should live

I await your arrival

I’ll make it worth your while
