South Florida
I-95
Military trail
Puffy clouds
Warm choppy surf
Thongs and too tan
Gulls flying low
Big rumble cigarette boat
Excess waste of fuel but
Seems normal here
Jellyfish warnings but
I touched a few and
I felt no heart stopping stings
Just jelly like the fish but
I did see a really long strange
Creature at my feet with a
Long snout and turquoise stripes
And I said, Wow, what a sight
He was as curious about a plastic bottle
With an orange cap as I was
Was he thinking, message in a bottle, as I was?
Called up North
Everyone was coughing
So I think Ill extended my stay here
For a few more days and
Go back to that Spanish River Beach
