and that's what washes up on shore

used condoms
shampoo bottles
weird oil from somewhere not nice
rusty metal
strange japanese bits of plastic
that might have been candy or toys
and could just as well have come from chinatown
as the south pacific
barnacles on logs that will die before they unstick
and seaweed that could have been born here
or anywhere
who cares...?
you can walk along the edge forever
and discover
