The Tale Of South Beach

South Beach, South Beach

wait for me

because

to your sands and along your shores

i will come

to bathe in the Floridian heat

tan in the tip of America’s ingotfreckled light

drink the coldest of beers

take pics of the sun at 2pm, each day, for a week, then when wonder why for evermore;

South Beach, South Beach

your citizens drive 10-liter saloons

turn the aircon to icebox temp

garb in floral shirts and golf attire and officewear and summer dress

and i see them, now, walking towards your bars and fastfood joints like they walked straight off and from and outta the pages of an E Leonard potboiler;

their chat as chatty as Elmore’s dialogue;

and their capers
