An Obstacle To Large To Mention

Here I am again buried under by this grain of sand At the beach oceans mock me. Waves laugh real tears Pretty bikini girls wearing two strings saunter by All smiles as they admire my bulky hunk muscles As I hide my grief from them and open seas The speck of sand won’t move an inch from me I refuse to look. It occupies my tummy in defiance In disguise, near the navel, with all its crushing weight Holds my belly button hostage. Maybe it has needs Money? Prestige? A beach? Power? Yes! Power! If only a small slight breeze would happen by Something on the order of a category five perhaps Two hurricanes and a Tsunami might do Particle removal is not as easy as it looks An obstacle, an intruder of this magnitude Must be kept quiet because people would talk If only I had a gun, a sandwich or baloney I could ask it to leave! But that would be silly Sand can’t speak and a speck even less
