Flashback .. Fast Forward

She'd A Happy Smile .. Dancing In The Sand

standing in the edge of the choppy gulf

schools of sharks were swimming by

I thought, oh no .. damnit, not again

suddenly a lady nearby began screaming

I rushed over to help her out of the water

her legs, thighs and back were blood red

jellyfish had stung the hell out of her

carefully laid her down on a beach towel

she was kicking sand everywhere

finally EMT arrived and took her away

the crowd dispersed .. things were crazy

I decided to stroll along the shoreline

spied an inhabited cove way ahead

stopped there .. explored for thirty minutes

it was totally mesmerizing to view

a fisherman pulling in a manta ray

undoubtedly he knew what he was doing

he finally beached the flopping manta ray

jumped up .. ran down the beach to it

pulled out metal spikes from a utility belt

a small anvil shaped hammer

tap tap .. soon he'd pinned

the flopping manta ray down

I thought it was unnecessary

to harm the manta ray for no reason

moseyed on down to another cove

fired up a joint of sweet sinsimilla

no sooner had I blown out smoke

the girl from the pier appeared again

so what if i'm still stoned high

all of my senses were working

telling me she'd followed

she said hey .. will you share

I replied .. sure, why not

seems she deserved it

passed her the sinsimilla joint

she took really deep, huge tokes

I pondered .. lungs on that girl

told her to smoke the rest of it

she'd a happy smile .. dancing in the sand
