Morning at the Beach

Waves foam on the sand
like the mouth of a rabid dog.

It is too early for anyone 
but the most dedicated

of surfers or locals to be 
at the beach so early in the day.

I eat my breakfast alone
and in peace from the patio

of the bar. They serve quite
the good meal.

Summer is not the best season
here. It is best in Winter

as the chill enters your marrow
and the wind turns your hair

into a piece of modernist art.
I have nowhere to be.

I am in no rush to move
any faster than necessary.

I see a surfer in a partially
unzipped wetsuit

hauling his board beneath
his right arm.

I remain seated as he passes 
me without a glance.
