&quot;In school, my teacher had us<br /> write down what we wanted to<br /> be when we grew up. I wrote<br /> down &quot;happy&quot;. She told me I<br /> didn&#039;t understand the assignment. <br /> I told her she didn&#039;t understand life.&quot;

Calloused toes sizzle
On dunes
of sea-shell sand.

Flip Flops flop
On the rocks,
And waves caress the shore.

Going home,
back up the street,
returning to the world.

No souvenier,
Except, perhaps,
The sea salt on my cheeks.
