Low Tide
The tide's out at present
Means the water's further away
There's a whole lot more
Beach out there
Than there was
Six or even five hours ago
Temporary real estate
Suitable for construction
Of the grandest of sandcastles
Unobstructed sea views
One hundred and eighty degree vista
No permit required
Its a longer walk to the water
But not as far to swim
As it often is
This time of day
It's thanks to the moon we're told
Taking the beach away
Every 12 hours
For cleaning I imagine
