TODAY'S PROMPT
Your prompt for Monday, January 3rd:
Beach or Waterfront
"...i watch
you swim into the crest. i'd rather sit and sip wine
enjoy the wind than swim or wade. i smile secretly
at thinly clad slappers-on of lotion/a potion to ward off
skin cancer. in my fantasy i would challenge the ocean
a feminist ahab stalking the great white whale. harpoon it
and ride down to meet davy jones, content
for my america dies with me
sound. swoosh swoosh the scythe. a depth as vast as my vision
i could live by it, pacifica. learn to like it. now that you're
with me i might even let you teach me how to tread water"
~Wanda Coleman, "Beaches. Why I Don't Care for Them."
