Out the door
Fuzzy air
Drive to the shore
Air’s fuzzy there

On the way
On a fence rail
Five crows sway
Flash shiny black tails

Crows fly in two’s, I think
Another pops in from the drink
There sit six by drained lagoon
Gearing up to croon a tune

It’s misty drizzle in this cloud
This one is on the ground
In seconds windshield’s a-shroud
Overhead jet engine sound

One lone peli glides on in
From out to sea somewhere
A slowing plane is heard again
All inside the fuzzy air,  of

Cool the air
Up my shorts
Like ships from sea
Sails them to ports

Misty sky
Above the beach
A pelican soars
So close that I reach

Too far too high
It’s a pipe dream
Like a pizza parlor organ
Fog horn blares,  unseen

In and about the channel
Not another bird in sight
Probably out fishin’
Anchovy appetite delight

Softly hear the waves
Surfers ride the crests
Two-mile surf is the turf
For riding ocean breasts

On the beach
Big as day
Sheriff’s car
Bold display

Gate removed from the ramp
Huge “Explorer”…white with green
Driven by a driven scamp
Spins a “U”ey,  stops to preen

Steps onto the pristine sand
Shoulders back,  starts the strut
A sort of licensed ‘one man band’
Hell-bent to roust those campers up

One is walking,  half-asleep
Others doze, unaware
Talkin’ loudly, indiscreet
Staunchly there, Smokey the Bear

Guess mid-summer’s settled in
Folks, by law, must abide
Camps on the beach are in arms reach
Yet inappropriate…that ride

Right here today,  on the bo bay

Parked along the seawall
Wharf Road at the end
Smells of sealife in the air
Wafting as I round the bend

A woman front of Smiley’s
Beating on a car
Shouting out obscenities
Song lyrics ‘bout a bar

Rubber neckers in delight
Wait for her to strike again
By then the red car races off
Plops on the bench, major chagrin

Brighter never is the sun
On Bo Beach by the bay
Dancing crystals prance about
Heat to grow,  hear it say…

“Hi,  I’m here,  do you feel me?”
El Sol might say, who knows?
‘You’re darn tootin!’,  I’d reply
Warming all from head to toes

Right here today,  on the bo bay
