Conveyance

 the blur of the day at the beach
many people walking across your line of observation
catching your attention
their faces blank or colorful

yes shrieking children
going about their games
serious brows moving up
then laughter jumping and prancing

The details written in your eyes
describing the mass of moving bodies
fulfilling their holiday obligation
as if they were actually free

age
mumbles and gambles
sand clinging to the legs and feet
slowly falling off over the strides

ankle waves taking a layer off
gulls above distracting
looking down
contemplating the thick congested human conveyance
