The Plausibility of the Oceanfront

Do you know how to make a s'more?
It goes
graham/chocolate/marshmallow/
mountain/moonlight/
the sand
shifting beneath your thin
blanket/one kiss/
graham.

We scrubbed the smoke from our hair,
and slept the thorough, indexed
sleep of the nomad. 

The cool ocean breeze exhilarated us
nearly as much as saying
"the cool ocean breeze"
but

after two weeks of rural expanse
I was relieved to hear
someone talking
earnestly
about weaponizing crows
while wearing mismatched sneakers
and a kc and the sunshine band t-shirt.

Cities buzz
with the ambient utility of thought
and the accompanying fever
keeps me up nights;
in a good way,
in a good way.
