i met god on the beach
today
about three years old,
she crawled determinedly and dirty before me
and, as the waves,
snuck up along the coast.
she large-eyed the ocean
then big-eyed me
and said,
nothing.
sandy she laughed, and clapped
and i too after a while.
and i too after a while realized
it was the first time i’d
done that in an old three whiles.
my god! i am as old as my god
of the wonder still and dirty hurrahs.
hahahahahahahahaha
today we’re all-so young.
