Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Pier-Perfection

pier-perfection
measured stroll to its length
flipping into mirth
landing on the sailboat’s deck
   and holding on…for dear life

pier-perfection
strong sun, beholden wind
horizontal spray
leisuring at an angle
   hang-on-baby amusement

pier-perfection 
observers as beached whales
by no means diving in
the sea chopping off their legs
   piers wooden pegs bending wills

pier-perfection
becomes a water slide
bums not having fun
turbulent waters teal blue
   nothing to show for their lives

pier-perfection
floating away, perfect sail
for the dead beats…
the hang-on-baby crowd
   seasoned-sailors on beach towels
