It's appropriate considering I'm viewing the world with a tilted head.

skinny neo-hippie
long hair bobbing behind
in syncopation to his
buoyant stride

fat blonde dyke
duck walking her bike
to the stop light

Sleek salesman in a
gorgeous gray suit diligently
picking his nose

bare-chested skinheads
tan and scrawy
gathering under the overpass

lunchtime note to self: secret to wasabi, don't breath through mouth

I can get some mighty 'licious wasabi macadamia nuts down at the farmer's markets.

Cheers,

PS. I love your observational scribblings...but you know that

"Onshore breeze on sharp-bright sand,
his and hers jeans, fashionable and inappropriate,
pass by bared white-to-red-to-brown skin.

Blinks into the winter’s summer-sun,
answered by the blink
of a passing light plane’s running shadow

answered by shadows and shimmers in the green swell,
answered by a bird tilting, dropping, folding itself at speed
down into the waves, under the water, for sustenance,
like me."

"I cannot draw it, though I tried -
cross-hatches and lines and smudges and hard-scrawled score,
looking no more than what they are -
but the mirror-green of the broken surf
behind the near-black of the bodies climbing
in and out of a shorebreak
providing a sound track of bright white noise

is what I’m writing about instead
through a squint of sun-on-paper.

The horizon draws a line above the sand,
daring the sky and ocean to cross.

Arbitrary divisions, lethargically
breaking my Sunday afternoon
into beach time,
and now afternoon tea:

scrambled eggs and smoked fish
on toasted homemade bread,
with Worcestershire sauce,
Tabasco, and
soaked capers.
Apt, perhaps."

I was sitting here trying to draw these damn leaves in my sketch book and thought I was making progress. Then I read this and all I see are a bunch of marcs....er, marks. Oh, well. Truth is truth. Try again.

You're good, Marc. Really good. Thank you.
