Ocean Dance
I watched a group of twelve-year-olds
digging in the sand
No older though, for they squealed in laughter
Heads thrown back in the wind
Something in the sand and water excited them
And I swear they did a circular dance around the liquid hole
I drank in the freedom
of those prepubescent boys
So thrilled and free they were that day
that I became invisible as I passed.
I wondered to myself
Had I ever laughed so fully
in the whole of my existence?
I hope to do so someday
now that I see it can be done.
