the beach

I look at life the way you look at the

beach when you are a child

so far away from everything

exorbitant in its seize

unreachable in its essence

you press your feet with force until it

embraces the sand

but the beach seems to push you

further away

oh, it looks so beautiful

but only from far

I want to touch it

but you stay right where you are

and you let the beach push you further

away

away from it's beauty

you don't move

what if it wasn't beautiful all along

what if your idea of it dies

oh, well

then let me stay here and dream on

nothing can happen here

nothing happens

nothing
