Park the car between the lines
Slide down to the sea
Say to the sea, I wish I were you
Do you wish you were me?

A dog and a ball
And an old whole world
In a shell

A squall in a towel
And the ecstacy
Ice cream bell

Let the dunes swallow the day
Glide down to the sea
Say to the sea, I wish I were you
Do you wish you were me?

Anemone flails
And the rock press moist
Underfoot

A surfer scrawls
A suture through
The breakers

Hiss and rumble devour all sound
Uncoil into the sea
Say to the sea, I wish I were you
Do you wish you were me?

Sand sunk toes
Wade all the way up
To the heart

Sea, I filled
This hole in you
A perfect fit

Leave the car to bake in sun
Unroll into the sea
Say to the sea, I wish I were you
Do you wish you were me?
