Umbrella up rain and snow, sun in the most peculiar spaces on the soft beach sand. You, gazing at the spectacle as if it made you, browning that white bread façade so fine setting off the gold chain just right, “charmer” you think, “stud” doubt it, “frightened” oh yes baby hit that one right on the old purple head.

In the down time there are moments of panic, moments that cause one to consider not moving, not doing anything. Just sitting, questioning wondering why you just sit without any ambition to move.
