There are so many of them all
All I can call it still is generous
Each angel’s tooth is dancing on the head
Of a pin that looks suspiciously like my arm
The beach dolly zooms away
I was right about that; but
In my ears like oceanwater in shells
I hear the mantra of an old gift
“Have you received a peach left notice strip?”
I do not mean roaring water
I mean oceanwater in shells
At the bottom of the ocean
