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