Janet Kuypers spring 1993 1 I can’t imagine the number of times I’ve been there visiting Florida, Christmas with my parents a plastic tree decorated with sand dollars and red ribbons eating Christmas dinner listening to Johnny Mathis and after the Irish coffee, father with his brandy snifter in hand mother and the other girls putting away the dishes the carolers would come, walking in front of our home singing “We wish you a merry Christmas” over and over again we would walk outside and the cool breeze almost felt like Christmas after the hot humid days and we would stand on our driveway smile and nod you could see down the road all the candles in paper bags lining the street and for a few lights the bag burned 2 and we would take boat rides off the coast my parents and their friends to a tiny island dad drinking beer sometimes steering the boat control the women sitting together in the shade worrying about their hair i would sit at the front sunglasses, swimsuit and sunburn feeling the wind slapping me in the face and turning my head away from the boat into the wind away from them to face it again docking at a shoreline everyone jumping out little bags in their hands the women go looking for shells the men go barbecue after an hour or two the sandwiches, potato chips eaten the soda and beer almost gone we turn around and head back we have conquered 3 and I remember the coquinas the little shells you could find them alive on the beaches north of the pier in Naples going to the beach I would look for a spot to find them they were all my own they burrowed their way into the sand to avoid the light worming their way away from me I unearthed a group of coquinas once, fascinated with their color of their shells, the way they moved before they could hide I collected them in a jar, took them home with me what did you teach me what have you taught me to do is this it is this what it has become is this what has become of me of you of us and I took them home I added salt water and sand but I couldn’t feed them I realized soon that they would die so I let them |
