plastic bottles on the evening tide
dancing in the glow
setting sun slides out of frame
surf is rocking slow
pebbles on the seabed droning
static in my head
stars like astral stubs
of a billion cigarettes
another crashing wave
another crushing bore
the tide will wash away
but still come back for more
the byrds they fly, eight miles high
gliding out of reach
branches sway, hit replay
neil young’s “on the beach”
mind is shuttered, thoughts unruddered
floating on the breeze
it’s all fine, i rewind
sunburnt memories
another crashing wave
another crushing bore
we dream it all away
but still come back for more
another crashing wave
another crushing bore
fading day by day
we all wash ashore
