Life's A Beach: Afternoons down along the shore/you appear around five, slick fashion plate--/J. Press, J. Crew, some upscale store.//Then starting from the bottom line of foam/where waves break and de-escalate,/falling risers flattening to a comb,//you zigzag slowly up the sand,/clutching a plastic scoop with built-in sieve,/metal detector dowsing dowsing Occult practice used for finding water, minerals, or other hidden substances. A dowser generally uses a Y-shaped piece of hazel, rowan, or willow wood (also called a dowser or a divining rod). and//waved over stog and little like a fan./Have margins narrowed that you live/on windfalls from each bottle, coin, or can? |
