Silence on the Beach

Boys show their surfing moves.
Moms play with their daughters in the water.
Girls take each others' pictures.
Couples cuddle and smooch.
Guys show off their tattoos.
Families huddle around their beach gear.
People sleep.
Wanderers amble the shore.
Seagulls prowl for food.
Homeless get warmed up.
Ducks waddle.
White skin reddens.
Ears relax.
Bodies rest.
Minds wander.
Eyes shift out of focus.
Limbs relax.
