Morning Beach Walk

Up from beneath the sea 
And onto the sandy shore 
There lie tokens, trash and treasures with tales 
And they're scattered all about

Sea glass waiting to be picked up by some creative crafter 
A lonely lobster trap - bent and twisted 
The empty shell of a hermit crab 
One black fisherman's boot tangled in seaweed 
A blueberry-blue rubber glove
A deflated mylar balloon
Unidentifiable aluminum soda can - its logo washed off by the sea

Like the disappearing zone of the clothes dryer -
  some objects are missing their mate

Like the local dump -
  carelessly discarded trash is deposited on our Mother's shore
