Save all the undertakers' bills, let the mermaids flirt with me

[sovay]

I am on Cape Cod.



Specifically I am on Corporation Beach. I picked up a slipper shell and three pebbles, two white quartz, one soft grey with a water-white line through it. Later we walked through a salt marsh as the sun was setting; I saw a family catching green crabs on the end of a line baited with chicken. There have been excellent fried clams and excellent soft-serve ice cream. Everything smells like salt here. There is excellent sea.

Convenient lyrics aside, mermaids are capricious and their teeth are sharp. And all the ones up the Cape are bored and old, though you of all people might find one who remembers the night the Sparrowhawk went down.

Well, I'm not looking for an undertaker, either.

I shall let you know what I hear.

This is just to say
I have eaten
All the clam bellies
Which my kid would probably
Crinkle up at biting anyway
Forgive them,
They’re kinda dumb
But like I said,
I got this
