Lake Beach
I am face up in the sun
somewhere between the guy
with the mullet eating cheesy
pringles and the skraggly gray
dog wearing novelty dog-shaped
swim trunks.
A spider has made our towel her campground.
She scuttles up from terrycloth
peaks, and disappears behind
heaping granules of beige sand.
I am sitting beside my friend,
while another returns their
feet to the algae thick water
Graceful amidst the screaming gleeful children.

This quite a picture! 😄♥️
It was an interesting day!
“Graceful” and “gleeful.” Very good word play!
Thank you, thank you!
