Beach House

Blake Corrao

sitting on a seaside porch
you hope for the gentle crash of waves
the braying and laughing
of gulls and terns
the soft hum
of bicycle tires on the boardwalk
what you don’t wish for
the droning scream
of lawn care machinery
feeding off gasoline

the wailing smacking
of a coast guard helicopter
every ten minutes overhead
the horrible yap-yap-yap
of a small dog
red goo around his eyes
but this
is what you will get
