Beach Ball

When I squint my eyes the lights become blurry.

(beep)

Sometimes the radio is annoying.

And I can never get the heat just right.

It's times like these when I'm driving in the car and you are sitting next to me that I feel that I could drive to the horizon (given proper rest stops) and sometimes beyond it.

I've always wondered what the place where the sun goes looks like.

I've always imagined that it's the ocean.

Have you ever been to the ocean?

I have.

I've seen the sun slide into it.

Sort of like those blue tablets you put in your toilet to make the water blue when you flush it.

Only the sun doesn't make the water red... at least not all the way.

We should go there - just you and me - and watch the sun set into the ocean.

But what I really wanna see is the sun wake up and come out of the ocean, like a beach ball that you just can't hold under water any longer, and it will shoot into the sky with a splash.

At least that's what I imagine.

So maybe I really don't wanna see it 'cause I don't think it really does that.

However, I'm sure the show it does put on is equally fantastic.

My favorite of the compilation. Do you write pomes now?
