10 | Waiting for a reading to start \ | ||
11 | when there's nobody coming anyway \ | ||
12 | is like waiting for the tide \ | ||
13 | to make some meaning of the beach. | ||
14 | |||
15 | The sea doesn't know or care \ | ||
16 | what the beach even is, let alone \ | ||
17 | its cares or its troubles, its \ | ||
18 | little nagging under-the-skin annoyances \ | ||
19 | that make the beach the beach. | ||
20 | |||
21 | Sandworms, for example, or those crabs \ | ||
22 | with big pincers on one side \ | ||
23 | but not the other. Those really get \ | ||
24 | the beach's gander up, but the sea \ | ||
25 | doesn't care. The sea | ||
26 | |||
27 | only wants to caress the beach \ | ||
28 | with its soft arms, to tell the beach \ | ||
29 | how much it's loved by the sea, \ | ||
30 | that complex of water, salt, and \ | ||
31 | the moon's gravity, the mercury \ | ||
32 | rising up and down slowly, like a yawn. | ||
33 | |||
34 | The sea only cares about itself. \ | ||
35 | The beach lays there and takes it. | ||
