Day Seven

GOING TO THE BEACH

We are all dead dead excited sitting

here standing around eating drinking

just waiting for the jeep

to take us to the beach

three generations maybe four

cousins brothers sisters lovers

mothers fathers aunties whatsit -in-

laws uncle Tom Cobley and all

a couple of tricycles are packed

with water beer and rice and beans

I guess we'll buy the fish when we

get there like we did the last time

Short Interlude (beer rice and veg)

Everybody's dressed in shorts

of sorts tee shirts T shirts and

basketball uniforms de rigueur

only brand name trainers will do

they say the mosquitoes only bite

after four pm and before six am

but I've got a whole colony of ants

climbing up my legs and a 

multitude of flies licking at last

nights bites

I'm still waiting for the jeep to come

but everybody else seems to have

settled back into the usual routine

eating drinking telling customers

that the Carinderia is closed 

because we are going to the beach

at Dinadiawan
