the unexplainable man: at the beach

went to the beach instead of looking for a job cold morning no tourists the waves are white the foaming rocks the hills and the gray sky clouds roll up like limousines waves crash and die cold raindrops riddle the sand fur of a running cat police car stops for a hot dog in the rain running down the beach the pit bull stops shell of a manta ray sky god - triumphant sun god - devouring sea goddess - forgotten no more messages but humans still watch the waves human hand monster hand above the waves the great hand of the sea and sky no fingers for thirty seconds reality called to me reality is reality and i'm only myself bulbous seaweed ripped from the ocean floor i wanted to kill myself i went and looked at the ocean i felt better waves voices waves fine sand across the muck like frosting
