| 11 | Waiting for a reading to start \ | ||
| 12 | when there's nobody coming anyway \ | ||
| 13 | is like waiting [for the tide][] \ | ||
| 14 | to make some meaning of the beach. | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | The sea doesn't know or care \ | ||
| 17 | what the beach even is, let alone \ | ||
| 18 | its cares or its troubles, its \ | ||
| 19 | little nagging under-the-skin annoyances \ | ||
| 20 | [that make the beach the beach][]. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | Sandworms, for example, or those crabs \ | ||
| 23 | with big pincers on one side \ | ||
| 24 | but not the other. Those really get \ | ||
| 25 | the beach's gander up, but the sea \ | ||
| 26 | doesn't care. The sea | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | only wants to [caress][] the beach \ | ||
| 29 | with its [soft arms][], to tell the beach \ | ||
| 30 | how much it's loved by the sea, \ | ||
| 31 | that complex of water, salt, and \ | ||
| 32 | the moon's gravity, the mercury \ | ||
| 33 | rising up and down slowly, like a [yawn][]. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | The sea only cares about itself. \ | ||
| 36 | The beach lays there and takes it. | ||
