It is Spring in Florida, and we are busy preparing for summer. I am looking forward to a relaxing day by the pool.
BEACH
I lay in the sun,
tanned and ready for love.
The lounge chair reclines
at the perfect angle.
I squint at the sun,
reveling in nature’s glare.
I am drenched with perspiration
mingled with the water from the pool,
in which my arm dangles
aimlessly.
My vacation has begun
and in my head
I hear the quiet lap, lap, lap
of the water.
Then,
as I drowsily close my eyes,
The cell phone rings,
the notebook computer buzzes,
the tablet alarm rings out
the music begins blaring
tunes from the sixties
and the radio promises riches
for the tenth caller
and a relaxing vacation
by the water
on the beach.
