Seaside

"Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside

I do like to be beside the sea

tiddly om pom pom tiddly om pom pom"

On Wednesday the water was translucent and crystalline

the shadows were so crisp and sharp

and the crab shell wore leopardskin

and the little bits of stuff arranged themselves like still life almost.

what a lot of yellow shadow from such little yellow legs!

A sand dune

Clear light by the snack bar

I could stare at the water for hours...
