By Terry Trowbridge

The women of Woodbine Beach
do not make eye contact with
an out-of-shape 37-year-old man with long hair
and a The Cure t-shirt.

But if they did
the Sun would reflect off their eyes
and their voices would
sound of the waves

where seagulls swim past
knowing and not caring
about The Cure.
