Lost at Sea




(k8, jason, justin at my local to me beach. me, behind lens, lost at sea)

"maggie and millie and molly and may"



maggie and millie and molly and may

went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang

so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,

and millie befriended a stranded star

who's rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:

and may came home with a smooth round stone

as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

it's always ourselves we find in the sea.”

- E. E. Cummings (American poet 1894-1962)
