Walk By the Sea

Walking by the sea Walked along the sea-shore The breeze from the sea filled my lungs with goodness The pavement was flat and smooth. I walked for an hour, only stopping to inhale the air. Alone and free of squabbling women, I felt at ease. I feel invigorated, but I need a car to drive there. When the womenfolk rules I find myself in the centre Waiting as they go in and out of shops. The sea a bit restless today smashed against rocks and The air was filled with ozone; to my surprise there Others had the same idea; they didn’t Work sat their cars with windows open, and that is ok. I saw a yellow flower among coarse grass A hardy soul braving the wind and since I’m not A botanist I didn’t bother to give it a name.
