She Kisses Each Misty Eye

she kisses each misty eye
i look at the access from across the street
i am told to move along
i just listen to the waves and drown out modern normality

she kisses each misty eye
i pick up a beautiful seashell obviously dropped by an inspiring overachiever
i stare into space and pray to the heavens for my feet to sink in the sand
to my dismay, all i can do is write a poem about it
i am not an expert at it, but i try

she kisses each misty eye
i kiss her back and offer to buy her a chocolate candy apple
she says that she wants an elephant ear instead
i look around and tell her to use her imagination
she then replies to me saying 'let's drive around, silly'
with no choice and no delay, i simply say 'okay'
