Shy

Shy


how does one handle
nude on the beach
extremities starfished
almost asleep
how does one handle
the talons, the beaks

I am a shy person and it is like a curse, words don't come to me in person. I am fluent on cyber space, somewhat...lol

Just go teasingly nude. No need to let it all hang out- you'd be surprised... some (most) of the folks at a nude beach are just as funny looking as any cartoon...thing is- just get rid of the state of mind you have been programmed to think.
