Selection

Ever wonder how shells end up on the beach?
Who picks them up and why.
Some are chosen,
Some are broken
and some are left behind.
Undercurrents
By SM Fishman 1/1/04

Caught in an undertow
but I never saw it coming.
No ripples or swirling eddies,
just drifting in your current,
not knowing where I’ll beach,
if at all.
Grains

Sticking to me like beach sand
the kind you still find
on you days later.
No shower can rinse you off.

Sand doesn’t go right down the drain,
It lingers a bit in the tub,
reminding you of where it came from.
