The basket of Easter stars has arrived.
Okay, the poser Easter bunnies said.
We can be there shortly.
They envisioned divvying up the Easter stars.
Six for one, seven for the other.
While they were picturing their loot,
The real Easter bunny picked up the entire basket.
Taking all thirteen stars, as was his due.
When the poser bunnies arrived they found a poser basket.
These are not the true Easter stars! One of them said.
Poser bunnies, poser stars, said the Easter elf.

They stood apart
on the beach that once connected them
The place where they fell in love
the sunglasses were discarded
because they were broken
like their relationship
Others kept their distance
sensing their need for privacy
as they dissolved their nest
divvying up their material things
the argument about their children began
a sad day for the beach
