Think You've Been on the Beach Too Long?

See, it all happened in the aqua bleach
Of light, when, bright past all expectations
I became the sunburned Buddha of this beach.
Nirvana? Sure, I answered all my questions.

"Will everything around me be eaten
Whether in the air or in the ocean?"
"Why yes, nothing 'wins' here or is 'beaten'."
"So' Impermanence' is 're-creation'....?"

The dive boats round the cut each day at dawn.
I pass the time in my usual ways.
The sun is like a light bulb that's always on
And in time you start to loose the track of days

And come to see how "things" all die and breed
And the "excellence" between these extremes.
