SUPER

Step with WHOLE foot
TREAD carefully
Plants and bugs REIGN
Supreme in the summer forest
Birds call, sun shines
Like a distant EMBER
In the July humidity
SURER foot dodges the nettle
SUPER power avoids the bee

Watching a sailboat navigate the SOUND,
I imagine a SUAVE scene aboard.
There is a mystique to sailing,
that comes from too many
media images.
SUPER sleek, leisure class
fantasies depicted.
Windswept but never disheveled.
It’s the same with convertibles.
My reality is always wind whipped with watering eyes
that no pair of sunglasses
or chic scarf can prevent.
