is to watch the sun on the water
and examine interesting rocks
and look at Canada which looks
exactly like Northern Washington
from the end of the road which
dead ends at the beach which is
policed by a sour Scottish ex-pat
with wild hair and a fingernail on
chalkboard voice who tells us to
stay the hell off her property and
smoke pot somewhere else.

_{I don’t even smoke pot and I
never go on her property and I
wish she’d understand that I only
want to jump in the freezing water
and scream and then run home
for a hot shower.}
