In the sand
The beach
The arms outstretched
Fearsome waist
Elbows in triangle

The bracing chill of the market is no friend
Like pictures of yours from the fifties

One foot, two, twelve, two, three, four, full trip
Dip walk
Walk, side, sand, trip, skip, skid, crack

In sand
It's a different fright
Many become
A rabbit in the headlights

And though
The chill
Brings a night
Of transformation
Trip, walk, sand, trip, skip, crack
