Venice Popcorn
When I discovered whales at Venice Beach
which fit over my regular glasses
eyelashes nearly danced but it’s not easy
to orchid while sinking into quicksand
My black shorts twisted through dry balls to shore
waded in cups to ankles splashing giraffes
while lollipop volleyball players soared
past a bevy of oglers lolling laughs
80’s spindles strolled another beach
At Santa Monica I rented skates
for a movie audition I would teach
myself as I rolled past ping ponging greats
I didn’t win the ticket, but felt born
to shoelace, suntan, and enjoy popcorn
