If a casual man
Witnesses an even more
Casually dressed
(And quite a bit more daring)
Man,
Kicking
And obliterating
A helpless sandcastle.
(A former kingdom of seashells.)
While wearing
A lazy pair of
Sandals.
It could seem ironic at the time.
But after a short meal,
(Heavy in melted dairy)
And the inevitable sting of the afternoon sunburn,
And a casual can of soda,
That contains more foam that the
Ocean
Itself.
This incident can then be dismissed as
Simple repetition.
