Comotion at St. John's Beach

by Glenn Currier

the errrrrr skip of skateboard
propelled by half-drunk foot

the tickety ticking ten speeds

coasting to bikini smiling blonds

tattoooo tattoooo rollerblades

and swooshing bicycled dads
pushing strollers with style
screaming roller coaster
and surfboard Suzies
rainbow parasails over
beeping muscled jeep

Ah the sounds

and commotion
of hormonal
locomotion

Exciting poetry from stem to stern here, Glenn, with catchy word combos throughout such as: tickety ticking ten speeds and hormonal locomotion.

when words simulate the actual sounds of events invented or otherwise, then the composer has done his work and the band played on. This music's got rhythm Glenn and cool although the climate you transfixed here feels much more tropical.
